Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison faced scrutiny after receiving $10,000 in campaign contributions shortly after meeting individuals connected to the Feeding Our Future scandal, which misappropriated $250 million meant for feeding children during the pandemic. Despite his assertion that the meeting was not for re-election benefits, the timing raised concerns. The Justice Department has charged numerous individuals in relation to the case, where funds intended for child nutrition were largely misused for personal luxuries, spurring further investigation into the connections between Ellison and the alleged fraudsters.
"I'm not here because I think it's going to help my re-election," Ellison stated during a meeting with individuals linked to the Feeding Our Future scandal.
Days after a December meeting with Feeding Our Future affiliates, Ellison's campaign received $10,000 in donations from individuals associated with the nonprofit.
