What we found

Context. Reuters, AP, KARE 11 and other outlets report that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty charged James O'Keefe and Cam Higby with unlawful voting and identity theft on Oct. 28, 2026, for conduct during the Aug. 11 primary.[1][3][4][5]

Context. The Minnesota Attorney General's Oct. 20, 2026 Election Report Form release says the office will investigate election-related matters reported to it and may refer complaints, but it does not mention exploring charges against any journalists or the pair.[6]

Context. No source addresses any statement or deliberation by the state Attorney General about charging the men or other journalists before Aug. 17, 2026, so the claim's central assertion goes uncorroborated and uncontradicted.[1][2][7][8][9][10][11]
