U.S. Democratic Sen. Al Franken apologized Thursday and faced a likely Senate ethics investigation after a Los Angeles radio anchor accused him of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 United Service Organizations tour. Tweeden posted the allegations, including the photo, on the website of KABC, where she works as a news anchor for a morning radio show. Tweeden said Thursday that Franken was persistent, and "every time I see him now, my hands clench into fists." (KABC)Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called the allegations "troubling" and said he hopes and expects that the Senate ethics committee will investigate. I strongly condemn this behaviour, and the Senate ethics committee must open an investigation."
