Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig used hot coffee to fend off an attacker this morning inside an elevator at her Washington D.C. apartment building, police say. Craig's staff says there’s no evidence to indicate the attack was politically motivated. The DFL lawmaker suffered bruising, but was able to go to work as planned.
