David Durenberger is an American politician and a former Republican member of the U.S. Senate from Minnesota.
Conviction
In 1990, the senate voted 96-0 to censure Durenberger for ethics violations related to evading limits on $100,000 in speaking fees and using his own condo in Minneapolis to collect $40,000 in travel reimbursements.[1] He remains the most recent United States senator to be censured. The Minnesota Supreme Court indefinitely suspended Durenberger's Minnesota law license on January 11, 1991, pursuant to a stipulation.[2] The Court reinstated his license on March 22, 2000.[3]
Durenberger did not run for reelection in 1994 and was succeeded by Rod Grams. In 1995, he pleaded guilty to charges of misuse of public funds while in office and was sentenced to one year of probation.[4][5]
