Fox News correspondent Alexis McAdams reported that sources say federal authorities have shifted their focus to Ellison after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced he would not seek reelection.

"Investigation into these fraud allegations is far from over, but sources are telling Fox again this morning that now that Governor Tim Walz says he’s not going to run for re election, the feds are also shifting their focus to the State’s Attorney General Keith Ellison,” McAdams said.

McAdams explained that Fox News obtained an audio clip recorded in 2021 showing Ellison meeting with a group later arrested in one of Minnesota’s largest fraud cases.

"Why? Because a newly obtained clip by Fox that we just got yesterday, that was from 2021 has Ellison meeting in this recording with a group of people who are asking for his help,” she said.

"The problem is, those people, you guys, were then, just days later, arrested for one of the biggest fraud scandals in the state.”

In the audio recording, an unidentified individual is heard discussing political support in exchange for protection of their interests.

"The only way we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena, putting our votes where it needs to be, but most importantly, putting our dollars in the right place and supporting candidates that will fight to protect our interests,” the unidentified person said.

Ellison responded on the recording, "That’s right.”

The unidentified individual continued, "You can only protect our interests when we have your back and you don’t have to worry about who’s behind you.”
