Keith Ellison won the Democratic primary for Minnesota Attorney General

Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison has won the Democratic primary election for state attorney general. This comes just days after he faced domestic violence allegations from his ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan.

The backdrop: Monahan's son alleged in a lengthy Facebook post that his mother has a video showing Ellison physically assaulting her in a bedroom. Ellison denied accusations on Sunday, saying “This video does not exist because I never behaved in this way." The accusations have not been independently validated, but the DNC said it's reviewing allegations, NPR reports.
