The Democratic congressman, who serves as deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has denied the allegations. "I believe women who come forward must be heard, and to have their allegations fully investigated," Ellison said. The state's Democratic party launched an investigation into the claim, retaining a local attorney with links to the state party to determine whether the alleged incident took place. Democratic party chairman Ken Martin said last week he expected the investigation to conclude soon. Monahan slammed the Democratic Party for its response to her allegations when compared to its treatment of Christine Blasey Ford.
