A second lawsuit has been filed containing an identical allegation that Sen. Norm Coleman’s long time political patron funneled $75,000 that was intended to benefit the Senator to a Minneapolis insurance firm, the Star Tribune reports. The case was filed Friday in Delaware Chancery Court and attributes the Coleman claim to a “confidential source.”

The man at the heart of the lawsuit filed in Texas this week accusing Sen. Norm Coleman of fraudulently receiving $75,000 has kept a low political profile over the years. Deep Marine Technology founder Paul McKim has given a total of $900 — primarily to Republican political candidate and causes since 2000, according to a database maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics.
