A DFL state senator who is currently the subject of an ethics investigation ran his 2020 campaign out of a south Minneapolis location without reporting paying any rent, according to trial testimony and campaign finance filings. A campaign office for Sen. Omar Fateh, DFL-Minneapolis, was mentioned during a recent trial, and Senate ethics hearing. If Fateh received free rent without reporting it as an-kind contribution, he would be in violation of Minnesota campaign finance rules.
The Senate Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct, a bipartisan four-member panel, continued its hearing on whether enough probable cause existed to conduct a formal review of the complaints and voted unanimously to continue the investigation.
For the second time in two weeks, the Minnesota Senate Ethics Subcommittee met to consider complaints against DFL Sen. Omar Fateh of Minneapolis without taking any votes.
