| Description | Attorney General Lori Swanson, a leading DFL candidate for governor, is being accused by a former aide of using her elected office to advance her political ambitions.
D’Andre Norman said in an interview Thursday night that Swanson hired him following her election as attorney general in 2006 to a job in the consumer services division. But he said his real job was political handler, alleging that Swanson tasked him with recruiting lawyers and other staff to participate in political activities during the workday.
Norman’s allegations were first published in the online news outlet The Intercept, and they corroborate an earlier report from the publication in which numerous anonymous sources said they felt pressured to do political work for Swanson — and that employees who did so were rewarded for it. |
