From CREW's report on the most Corrupt Members of Congress, this bit about Norm Coleman:

Adding to the relationship between the pair, Mr. Larson's wife, Dorene Kainz, had been employed as a casework supervisor in Sen. Coleman's St. Paul office, though after a news organization questioned Sen. Coleman about this, his staff announced that she would leave the office on July 10, 2008.
