The police chief who oversaw the reforms made by Minneapolis in the wake of the controversial death of George Floyd has resigned rather than face allegations of interfering with an investigation, according to the mayor.Democratic-Farmer-Labor Mayor Jacob Frey announced Tuesday that Brian O'Hara had resigned rather than face the consequences from allegedly deleting evidence.'When trust is broken, it becomes extremely difficult to continue leading effectively.' Investigators are looking into allegations that O'Hara had intimate relations with several city staff members, Frey said. When Frey told O'Hara he would face discipline over the alleged interference, O'Hara chose to resign instead."I accepted the resignation. It was an extremely painful decision, obviously, but I concluded that that was necessary to maintain public trust, and this was the right way to move forward as a city," the mayor said. "When you serve as chief of the Minneapolis Police Department, trust is not secondary to the job, it is the job," he added. "When trust is broken, it becomes extremely difficult to continue leading effectively." According to the allegations, O'Hara deleted a contact from his city-issued phone in order to "shield" himself, and he also warned a colleague about the investigation after he was specifically instructed not to do so. The independent law firm investigating the sex claims did not find enough evidence to substantiate the allegations. Frey said that Assistant Police Chief Katie Blackwell would take up the mantle as acting police chief while the city conducted a search for an interim police chief."This is not about being intolerant of mistakes," he added. "Everyone makes mistakes including me. But what I can't allow is a breach of trust." RELATED: 'ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis!'

Despite the criticism against the police chief, Frey had nominated O'Hara to another four-year term earlier this month. The mayor said Wednesday that he would not have done so if he knew about the allegations.City council members, including the president, criticized Frey heavily over the O'Hara affair.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is moving to have his wife, Christie, hired under a Special Government Employee, or SGE, designation—the same way former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem hired her rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski. Recent reporting from the Daily Mail states that Mullin has been floating the idea of SGE for his wife—which would allow her to fly free with him in federal flights—“on the regular,” according to Daily Mail sources. She could make over $130,000 per year. This publication also looked at Mullin’s flight logs, which revealed he is traveling in the same $70 million luxury Gulfstream G700 jet that Noem was criticized for using. According to the logs, he is using the G700 to fly back to his ranch in Oklahoma from Thursday to Monday, running the department from an arm’s length. In addition to retaining that jet, DHS has purchased another luxury Gulfstream G700 jet, as well as seven other planes for both private travel and deportation flights.“Mullin was one of the people complaining when Noem ordered the new planes,” a Daily Mail source said. “But they bought all the planes that Noem recommended. No complaints all of a sudden.” “Silence from Mullin. It has been that way for a couple of months now, and we don’t know why,” another source told the Daily Mail. “He leaves on Thursdays a lot at 11 in the morning and doesn’t fly back until Monday afternoon. He is barely in the building.” The White House denies reports of Mullin’s absence, stating that the secretary is “very engaged with the work they do on a daily basis and works closely with the President’s entire team to make sure his agenda is being enacted.”
