Al Franken apologizes after being accused of forcibly kissing and groping a woman

The Washington Post

The Hollywood sexual harassment scandal has officially hit Congress after broadcaster and model Leeann Tweeden tweeted a photo of the former SNL star-turned-U.S. senator appearing to grope her during a 2006 USO tour. “You knew exactly what you were doing,” Tweeden wrote in a blog post. “You forcibly kissed me without my consent, grabbed my breasts while I was sleeping and had someone take a photo of you doing it, knowing I would see it later and be ashamed.” Franken has apologized and agreed to an ethics investigation.
