ST. PAUL, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Today, the Minnesota Legislature will address an ethics matter concerning a State Senator facing burglary charges.

A Minnesota Senate panel will review an ethics complaint filed by Republicans against Democratic Senator Nicole Mitchell, who is charged with felony burglary for allegedly breaking into her stepmother’s home in Detroit Lakes. Senate GOP Minority Leader Mark Johnson sees this as an opportunity for Democrats to review the evidence and decide on appropriate actions to hold Senator Mitchell accountable.

Johnson anticipates that an official determination may not be reached on Tuesday, but emphasizes the Senate’s ability to impose consequences on Mitchell at any time. Democrats assert that Mitchell has the right to due process, both in the Minnesota Senate and in the courts.
