An internal report by the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), which investigated the domestic-abuse claims against Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), has been sent to local law enforcement for further investigation after an attorney who was hired by the DFL found the claims unsubstantiated.

Ellison is alleged to have physically and verbally abused his ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan. Monahan has since provided medical records from 2017, when she told her therapist about the abuse on two separate visits. Her son, Austin, also confirmed witnessing the video in a lengthy Facebook post, detailing how he accidentally stumbled upon the video and how he confronted his mother about it.
