The Political Beacon has learned that Norm Coleman, is narrowly ahead of Al Franken in the Minny recount in Minnesota, is facing what seems like a preliminary FBI probe into his connections to businessman-benefactor Nasser Kazeminy.Federal investigators are looking into allegations that a longtime friend and benefactor tried to steer money to U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, the Political Beacon has learned. Houston is where the first of two lawsuits was filed alleging Nasser Kazeminy, a Bloomington financier, tried to steer $100,000 to Coleman via his wife's Minneapolis employer. The second suit, filed in Delaware, alleges Kazeminy initially tried to get money directly to the senator. Both Coleman and Kazeminy have denied any wrongdoing, and Coleman last month said he welcomes an investigation.
