New #MeToo allegation against ex-Sen. Al Franken emerges

A former Capitol Hill staffer has brought forward a new allegation of improper behavior by former Minnesota U.S. Sen. Al Franken, telling New York magazine that he touched her inappropriately in 2006, two years before he was elected.

The anonymous allegation came as Franken returns to the public eye. His weekly show debuted Saturday on SiriusXM and a speaking tour begins Wednesday with a sold-out appearance in Portland, Ore.
