Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Keith Ellison lashed out at a reporter, claiming the $8 billion figure is “a false number” and only mentioned by those “aligned with the Trump Administration.” He grew visibly frustrated and ended the interview. The scandal has drawn national attention through congressional investigations and high-profile fraud cases. Ellison’s handling of the scandal has been questioned, with some arguing he was aware of fraud concerns years before it surfaced.
The performance of outrage is familiar, but the timing is notable.
