DFL files ethics complaints against reps Engen, Hudson
The Minnesota House DFL has filed ethics complaints against two Republican representative who were allegedly involved a drunk driving incident. FOX 9's Corin Hoggard has more.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Three members of the Minnesota House will face the ethics committee on Friday.
Ethics Committee hearing
What we know:
The committee met Tuesday to establish ground rules for the hearing on complaints against Elliot Engen, Walter Hudson, and Alex Falconer.
Engen got a DWI last month with Hudson in the car and armed.
Both Republicans were photographed drinking at a bar shortly after leaving on the middle of an education committee and then they both came back for a floor session.
The other side:
When Democrats filed complaints against those two, Republicans responded by filing a complaint against Falconer.
They say he’s been acting as a Boundary Waters lobbyist inside the legislature.
Falconer says everything he did was cleared by nonpartisan staff, and the GOP is just trying to distract from Engen and Hudson.
