St. Paul officials investigate allegations that involve Mayor Kaohly Her and Police Chief Axel Henry. According to reports, Henry files a formal harassment complaint claiming the mayor engaged in inappropriate conduct toward police officers or city employees. The city responds by retaining an outside lawyer or law firm to conduct an independent investigation. The inquiry focuses on the conduct Henry describes as harassment. Both outlets report that the mayor is in her first term and that the complaint is directed at her behavior toward police personnel. The city’s decision to use an external investigator is meant to assess the allegations and determine what occurred. The reports do not describe the specific allegations in detail, but they indicate that the complaint triggers a formal review process by outside counsel. The investigation proceeds as an independent fact-finding effort into the claims raised by Henry.
