Sen. Amy KlobucharAmy Jean Klobuchar: Accused Accuse Klobuchar's Double Standard: Klobuchar, O 'Rourke Visits Wisconsin, as 2020 Race Warms Harris for a Better Start Among Dems, say Strategists and Funders MORE (D-Min.) During a Monday, the CNN City Hall defended her criminal record after reports that her staff had found it difficult, demanding and even abusive, claiming that even though she was a "boss" hard, "she a fair.

"I love my staff," said Klobuchar, who announced that she would run for president earlier this month. "The same people have been working for me for years."

Klobuchar shared her previous experiences as a senator and lawyer during her career as a member of the executive staff, while highlighting the successes she has participated in.

"I've had a long career in staff management, going back to the private sector."

After leaving the private sector, the current senator headed the Minnesota County Attorney's Office, where Klobuchar said that there was "a very low turnover rate".

"Am I sometimes a difficult boss? Yes. Do I sometimes ask my staff too much? Yes."

Klobuchar said that she expects a lot from her work and American aspirations.

"I ask my staff to meet these same expectations," she said.

This explanation is in line with the one she gave earlier this month after the Democrat of Minnesota has been mistreated for years.

HuffPost said three potential candidates for the leadership of Klobuchar's presidential campaign rejected the post because of concerns about the treatment of staff.

Several members of Klobuchar's staff came to his defense when these reports were published.

Kali Cruz, who worked in Klobuchar's office during her first term in the Senate, said the senator "cared deeply about me as a staff member."

An unidentified campaign spokesman also told BuzzFeed News that Klobuchar "loves his collaborators – that's why she got where she is today."
