Minnesota AG Ellison lashes out when grilled on fraud scandal: 'I'm done talking to you'

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison lashed out when asked about his handling of the Minnesota fraud scandal following Vice President JD Vance’s threat to refer him to the Justice Department, while pushing back on a widely cited $8 billion figure as only mentioned by those “aligned with the Trump Administration.”

“That is a false number,” Ellison said. “The fact is, is that fraud is always wrong.” 

“Why don’t you give me a break, man?” he continued.

The comments come as Vance, the head of the Trump administration’s new anti-fraud task force, threatened to press the Justice Department to open an investigation into Ellison’s alleged knowledge of the widespread fraud scheme in Minnesota.
