Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) has denied the allegations in a lawsuit that his wife’s company received payments from one of Coleman’s campaign donors, as The Hill’s Michael O’Brien reports.
Coleman’s denial, however, hasn’t stopped the media scrutiny over the suit. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that he cancelled a scheduled appearance Wednesday after being asked about allegations. And, as seen in a YouTube video, Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter Paul McEnroe pressed Coleman to answer questions about the case while they walked to Coleman’s car. Coleman refused to respond to the questions.
Coleman faces a stiff challenge for his seat from Democrat Al Franken.
