Police Won’t Investigate Domestic Violence Allegations Against Keith Ellison. Here’s Why.

By Townhall. On Wednesday, the Minneapolis Police Department said they would not investigate domestic violence allegations against Rep. Keith Ellison, who also serves as the Democratic National Committee’s deputy chair. MPD said they won’t conduct an investigation due to a conflict of interest, or the appearances of a conflict of interest, the Associated Press reported.

Minnesota Democratic officials asked MPD to conduct an investigation into allegations made by Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, after their attorney found her claims to be unsubstantiated. . .

Ellison allegedly called Monahan a “f–king b–ch” and dragged her off a bed by her feet. The allegations were thrown into the public eye when Monahan’s son posted on Facebook detailing what he had witnessed and evidence he found on his mother’s computer.

Citing Conflict, Minneapolis Police Won’t Look Into Claim Against Keith Ellison

By Star Tribune. The DFL Party’s attempt to find a law enforcement agency willing to investigate a domestic abuse claim against U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison was mired in uncertainty Wednesday, after the Minneapolis Police Department said it would seek to refer the case to another jurisdiction.

Earlier Wednesday, the DFL asked Minneapolis police to investigate after both a city attorney and a county prosecutor declined to review a report the party commissioned that did not substantiate the allegation. . .

“Due to a conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, the Minneapolis Police Department will not be handling the matter involving Congressman Keith Ellison,” read a police statement. It said the department is in communication with other law enforcement agencies to which it may refer the case. Ellison’s son, Jeremiah Ellison, is a member of the Minneapolis City Council.
