Senate committee hears ethics complaint against DFL Sen. Omar Fateh

Six Senate Republicans filed the complaint, asking a special group of lawmakers charged with reviewing these accusations to open an ethics investigation. They want a probe into whether Fateh engaged in a "quid pro quo" when Somali TV, which has a YouTube channel with more 170,000 subscribers, ran a campaign ad encouraging people to vote for him and then after his election, the first-term lawmaker authored a bill that would have appropriated grants totaling $500,000 for the organization.
