Minnesota Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison has submitted a request for a House Ethics Committee investigation into domestic abuse allegations raised against him by an ex-girlfriend.
"Today I am announcing that I will submit a request for a House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations against me raised by a former partner. I am taking this step now because I am innocent and eager to see this entire matter resolved," Ellison wrote in a statement to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS.
The Democratic-Farmer-Labor party has hired a private lawyer, Susan E. Ellingstad, to conduct their own investigation into the allegation.
When reached for comment on Wednesday afternoon, Ellingstad said she could not comment.
"I have complied fully with that investigation, the results of which should be made public soon," Ellison wrote. "These allegations have lingered in the public sphere, and remain unsubstantiated. I welcome an investigation by the House to allow us to move on."
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has reached out to Ellison's ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan, who raised the allegations, for comment on these new developments but has yet to hear back.
Assault is a crime, not a mere ethics violation.
and them paying for it too..... there’s that fund you know ....
Ellison is an stealth Radical Islamic muslim who believes in Sharia law and wants to institute it in his community, city, state and eventually the whole USA
Just like Huma and ValJar and the dozen or so Islamic Radical muslims that Obama had in his administration.
You gotta be kidding, there is so much noise out there it is deafening.

The ethics committee will ensure he gets an ethics award.
If Ellison had the same Inquisition as Kavanaugh he would be at the least be horse whipped and run out of town
It’s the local DA that should be investigating Ellison not Congress
A meaningless gesture designed to sucker the gullible.
Hes running for a State office. The Minnesota State Police should investigate it, and, of course, police in the juridictions where his girlfriends live.
They know how to play the game...
