One assistant majority leader says if the allegations of an inappropriate relationship are true, it will be difficult for Amy Koch to stay in the Senate. Another says he hopes she does stay. Koch resigned her post as Senate Majority Leader last week amid allegations of a relationship with a Senate staffer.

The former Senate majority leader says she's standing by her decision to not seek re-election. She resigned from the top job in the Senate following allegations that she had an affair with a staffer.

Former Senate Republican staff member Michael Brodkorb claims he was wrongfully fired and is moving ahead with a lawsuit after the Senate rejected mediation. His lawyer says papers filed with the state acknowledge Brodkorb had an "intimate relationship" with former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch.

The Star Tribune and WCCO talk to some anonymous insiders who share details on how events reportedly went down.

WCCO is reporting that four Republican Senators held an emergency meeting with Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch on Wednesday night after learning about possible improper conduct. Koch resigned unexpectedly on Thursday.

The former Senate Majority Leader says she made mistakes and errors in judgment by engaging in a relationship with a Senate staffer. She apologizes to the Republican Party and to constituents, colleagues, friends, and family.
