Democrats celebrated their sweeping victories in Tuesday’s midterm elections, but the political celebrations have already been overshadowed by serious legal controversies involving newly elected lawmakers.
Just days after voters handed Democrats major victories across the country, multiple Democratic candidates are making headlines for reasons that have nothing to do with their election-night success.
One newly elected member of Congress is facing a felony charge tied to an alleged vehicle theft. Another Democratic state lawmaker has been accused of threatening to kill someone during a confrontation that reportedly involved references to a firearm.
