Minnesota Democrat Who Wanted Trump to Be Charged with Treason Elected DNC Chair

Ken Martin, the longtime leader of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party who called for President Donald Trump to be put on trial for treason, was elected as chair of the Democratic National Committee on Saturday.

Martin received 246.5 votes at the party’s meeting this weekend in Maryland, with Wisconsin Democratic Party chairman Ben Wikler trailing behind in second place with 134.5 votes.

In June 2020, Martin accused Trump of ignoring intelligence that Russia offered the Taliban bounties to attack Americans — an unsubstantiated claim the White House said in 2021 was based off little evidence, and a claim that was not verified by the CIA.
