A Minneapolis congressman is denying accusations of domestic violence made by an ex-girlfriend and her son.

The allegations against Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) first surfaced in an Aug. 11 Facebook post by Austin Monahan, the son of Ellison’s ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan, and come days before an Aug. 14 primary, in which Ellison is running for state attorney general.
