Mr. President, this resolution concerns a request for testimony and representation in a criminal action pending in Minnesota State Court. In this action, protesters have been charged with trespass for occupying Senator Al Franken's St. Paul, Minnesota office in April of this year, and refusing requests to leave the premises. The prosecution has sought testimony from a member of the Senator's staff who witnessed the relevant events. Senator Franken would like to cooperate by providing testimony from that person. This resolution would authorize that person to testify in connection with these actions, with representation by the Senate Legal Counsel of her and any other employee from whom evidence may be sought.
