The Star Tribune has joined a legal effort to unseal the divorce records of U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, the Democratic candidate for attorney general.
The efforts follow allegations by Ellison's ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, that Ellison domestically abused her in 2016.
On Sunday, Monahan tweeted to Ellison: "This is not going away and you are making it worse for you, your family and district by lying, smearing, getting others to do your dirty work, victim shaming, etc." She referred again to a video she says she has of Ellison dragging her off a bed, which he has said did not happen.
The Star Tribune argued that, given the public interest around that situation and Kim Ellison's public support of her ex-husband, the divorce records are a matter of concern to voters.
The Ellison campaign released a statement from Kim Ellison on behalf of both her and Keith Ellison.
Kim Ellison said her ex-husband "Never abused me in any way before, during, or after our marriage." She said release of the file would exploit their privacy and the privacy of their children.
Kim Ellison is a member of the Minneapolis Board of Education.
