U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison accused of domestic violence; he denies it

An ex-girlfriend of U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison has accused him of domestic violence, which Ellison – a DFL candidate for Minnesota attorney general – denied on Sunday.

The alleged incident between Ellison and Karen Monahan came to light Saturday night after her son posted about it on Facebook. She then confirmed it on Twitter. Ellison responded Sunday in a statement released by his campaign.
