A virtual hearing for MacDonald is schedule for 9 a.m. on March 2. She will be represented at the hearing by Sen. Bobby Joe Champion, DFL-Minneapolis, who also is an attorney. In December, he replaced Paul Engh as counsel in the case. Engh represented MacDonald when the case was heard by a Supreme Court referee last fall. The complaint against MacDonald involves three charges: That in a 2018 WCCO Radio interview, she repeated past misconduct by again making false statements and impugning the integrity of the District Court Judge David L. Knutson. That she filed a frivolous defamation lawsuit against writer Michael Brodkorb and his website.
