A state senator from Minnesota who was ordered to “resign in disgrace” after being arrested for trying to meet up with an underage sex worker — with him doing so last week — is now facing allegations of obstruction for allegedly telling a woman to swipe a computer and other items from his home during a phone call from jail, police say.

Justin Eichorn (R-Grand Rapids) — who was best known for his lobbying and support of a “Trump Derangement Syndrome” bill in the Gopher State up until his child solicitation arrest on March 17 — was accused in court documents filed Sunday of lying to federal prosecutors about at least three different things that he allegedly did that temporarily prevented him from being released by a judge this week on bail.

“Eichorn lied to the Court about his access to firearms; Eichorn apparently orchestrated an effort to retrieve a computer from his St. Paul apartment to deprive investigators of the opportunity to examine it; and Eichorn kept with that computer an iPhone that FBI agents found in a recently ‘factory reset’ condition, suggesting that someone with access to the phone’s accounts attempted to wipe it,” prosecutors said in a motion to detain Eichorn, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. “These facts give the government, and should give the Court, serious concern that Eichorn may be attempting to obstruct the ongoing investigation into his conduct,” prosecutors said.
