The Minnesota Senate’s ethics committee voted unanimously to launch an investigation into a state Democratic senator last week. According to reports, the vote by the bipartisan ethics panel comes amid allegations from seven GOP state senators that Sen. Omar Fatah, who represents portions of south Minneapolis, that he failed “to expressly address his involvement in the unauthorized delivery of 2020 primary election absentee ballots and retaining his Senate staffer who reportedly directed the fraudulent election activity.” Fatah, along with his lawyer, Kristin Hendrick, has denied the allegations, according to the Sahan Journal.
