Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison and Karen Monahan Domestic Violence Scandal

Arrest Record Missing, Witness Affidavits Missing, In Fact, Most Documents Vanish While Victims Suffer in Silence

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – September 30, 2025 – In a state already infamous for its progressive facade crumbling under the weight of Democratic scandals – yes, Ilhan Omar’s Minnesota, where the congresswoman’s own controversies barely scratch the surface of the rot – Keith Ellison reigns supreme as Attorney General. Elected in 2018 amid a firestorm of domestic abuse allegations, Ellison promised justice for the vulnerable. But seven years later, the very documents that could expose his alleged brutality have mysteriously vanished or been buried so deep they’re practically ghosts. This isn’t oversight; it’s a deliberate erasure, a power play by a man sworn to uphold the law while dodging its glare. How egregious? It’s not just hypocrisy – it’s a betrayal of every abuse survivor who trusted the system, only to watch it shield the accused.

Picture this: It’s 2018, and Karen Monahan, Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, drops a bombshell just days before the Democratic primary for Minnesota Attorney General. She accuses the then-Congressman of dragging her off a bed by her feet in a 2016 rage, screaming obscenities that would make a drill sergeant blush. Monahan claims she has video proof – nearly two minutes of raw, unfiltered horror – but it never surfaces publicly. Why? She says she lost it in a move, but whispers from her inner circle paint a darker picture: fear of retaliation from a man with the DFL machine at his back. Then there’s the infamous bruise photo – that haunting image of a woman’s face swollen purple around one eye, cheek, and jaw, circulating like a digital scar. Monahan ties it to Ellison’s alleged fury, but skeptics note it’s generic stock footage from domestic violence awareness campaigns dating back to 2012. No matter – the damage is done, or should have been. Texts flood out: over 100 messages where Ellison allegedly bullies, shames, and threatens her, calling her a “bitch” over petty finances. Friends corroborate: Three witnesses tell CNN she confided in them right after the incident, hearts pounding with terror.

But here’s the kicker – no arrest. No police report. No charges. Monahan never filed, citing a need for healing over handcuffs, and Minneapolis PD cited a “conflict of interest” thanks to Ellison’s son on the City Council. The DFL hires attorney Susan Ellingstad for an “investigation” – a whitewash dressed as due diligence. Her October 2018 report? “Unsubstantiated,” because Monahan wouldn’t hand over the video for private viewing. Emotional abuse? Maybe, via those nasty texts. Physical? Poof – case closed, no further questions. And the divorce records? Oh, Ellison fought tooth and nail to keep his 2012 split from Kim Ellison sealed, petitioning the Minnesota Court of Appeals like his career depended on it. Spoiler: It did. The court denied him in October 2018, unsealing files that flipped the script – Ellison accused Kim of abusing him with slaps, a knife-wielding threat, the works. Kim? She backed him publicly, calling the claims a mismatch for “the Keith I know.” Convenient, right?

Fast-forward to 2025: Those once-unsealed records? They’re not gone per se, but good luck finding them in the public domain without a FOIA war. The Ellingstad report? Leaked, then shelved like yesterday’s scandal. Monahan’s 2017 medical note – that chilling Park Nicollet document naming “congressmen Ellison” as the abuser, no physical exam needed but fear of “retribution” dripping from every line? It’s archived online, unverified by privacy-shackled providers. Witness affidavits? Zilch. Amy Alexander’s 2006 D.C. restraining order affidavit – shoving, verbal venom during an affair – dismissed without a hearing, no charges, and buried in archives you need a court clerk’s blessing to access. Ellison? He sails on, first Black and Muslim AG in Minnesota history, podcasting about “fairness” while the shadows lengthen.

This is egregious on a biblical scale. Ellison, the self-proclaimed champion against Trump-era injustices, weaponizes his office to sue over opioid deaths and employer scams – noble fights, sure – but when his accusers cry out, the response is a shrug and a seal. In Ilhan Omar’s Minnesota, where the Squad star’s marriage fraud whispers and campaign finance fumbles get a pass from the same DFL echo chamber, Ellison’s scandal isn’t an anomaly; it’s the blueprint. Victims gaslit, documents dissolved into digital ether, and the public left with polls showing 57% unsure what to believe. He won by 100,000 votes anyway – democracy dies in the darkness he helped create.

Now, draw the line to New York’s Letitia James – the other half of this Democratic AG hypocrisy duo. James, who crucified Andrew Cuomo with a 2021 harassment probe that forced his resignation, turned jelly-spined when her own chief of staff, Ibrahim Khan, was accused of rape and assault. Khan, her ride-or-die for a decade, allegedly drugged and raped a staffer at a 2014 holiday party under James’s watch as Public Advocate – investigated by the DA and DOI, but swept under the rug with no charges. Fast-forward to 2021: Sofia Quintanar, James’s deputy press secretary, says Khan forced his tongue down her throat at a fundraiser. She reports it – and crickets. James keeps him on, lets him roam, even as whispers of his “known propensity” for harassment echo from prior victims. Only after reelection in 2022 does James “aggressively” probe, hiring outsiders – but too late. Khan resigns amid “substantiated” claims of groping and unwanted kisses from at least two women, yet no criminal referral, no public mea culpa until the lawsuits hit.

Quintanar sues in December 2022, blasting James for a “cover-up” that treated her like yesterday’s news while Cuomo got the full takedown. And get this: As of 2025, another bombshell from ex-staffer Angel DuBose – abduction, drugging, ritual assault at that same 2014 party, with James allegedly asking, “Is she out?” as DuBose was bundled into a car semi-conscious. No statute of limitations on rape or kidnapping in NY – yet James’s office? Silent as a tomb.

The parallels scream: Two powerhouse Democratic AGs, Ellison and James, preaching #MeToo gospel while burying the bodies in their own basements. Allegations from multiple women – physical drags, slaps, forced kisses, druggings – met with “unsubstantiated” reports, delayed probes, and vanishing paper trails. Ellison seals divorces until courts force his hand; James shields Khan until lawsuits pry it open. Both win reelections (Ellison’s up in 2026) on the fumes of their fury against “the other side,” all while victims twist in the wind. In Omar’s Minnesota and James’s New York, justice is a one-way street – swift for enemies, a black hole for friends.

This isn’t governance; it’s gangsterism in a pantsuit. Ellison and James aren’t guardians of the law – they’re its gatekeepers, deciding who gets the gavel and who gets the grave. Until voters – and the feds – demand those missing documents, affidavits, and videos see daylight, the scandals fester. Call your reps, flood the AG hotlines, unearth the truth. Because if the top cops can’t police themselves, who will?
