Democratic Senator Al Franken apologizes for forcibly kissing former Playboy model and GROPING her while she slept during 2006 USO tour in Afghanistan – and she says there might be a SECOND accuser
- California morning radio host Leeann Tweeden says now-Senator Al Franken groped and forcibly kissed her during a USO tour in Afghanistan
- Tweeden was then a cover model who had appeared in Playboy, Maxim and FHM; Franken was an aging comedian and one of Saturday Night Live's first writers
- Tweeden writes that the Harvey Weinstein era has empowered her to speak out about the episodes that made her feel angry and powerless in 2006
- Franken was photographed grabbing her breasts while she slept about a troop transport airplane
- She also says he forced his tongue into her mouth – she called him 'fish lips' – when she expected to be rehearsing a scene where they would fake a 'kiss' for the audience
- 'I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann,' Franken said at first in a tepid statement
- He later offered a more direct apology in a longer statement
- Tweeden says she accepts the apology but has gotten a phone message from a second woman who describes an experience similar to hers
- Senate Republican leaders are calling for the Ethics Committee to review the case, and Franken says he'll cooperate
