Republican party chair among officials trying to limit damage from operative's sex trafficking indictment

Minnesota Republican Party officials are working to minimize damage from a well-connected operative’s indictment on sex trafficking charges.

This is the MPR News afternoon update for Friday, Aug. 13, 2021. Hosted by Nina Moini. Theme music by Gary Meister.
