The Mayor of Cleveland Heights got involved in the Department of Legal Department in the videos after notifying the Council that he couldn't

Cleveland Heights, Ohio – In the morning after the Mayor Kahlil Seren, City Council said that his city Keycard had not opened the door of the legal department. Monitoring videos in the town hall conquered it with a key card to open the door for the legal department.

The videos, which were made available on Tuesday in response to a public recording request to Cleveland.com, show Seren Walk by the metal detector in the Cleveland Heights Municipal Court Wing of City Hall, wipe a key card to catch up with the door to the city's legal department and to go inside shortly after 7 a.m. after 7 a.m.

Nobody else is visible in the lobby outside the legal department, and no security officer sits on the metal detector. Seren stayed four minutes before he went again.

Seren visited the legal department on April 5 at 3:27 p.m., a Saturday.

Cleveland.com and the simple dealer turned to Seren's administration to ask why the mayor went to the legal department and why he did this outside of business hours when nobody seemed to be there.

The video is published according to Cleveland.com, and the Plain Dealer reported on Friday that a member of the city department was charged with the district's public prosecutor's office to raise against the police from Cleveland Heights, which recorded the Body Camera video of Serens Frau Natalie McDaniel and during an outburst in City Hall in City Hall Colot and scream. The city hid the video from the public, and Cleveland.com and others have the Ohio Court of Claims to force their release.

Seren increasingly campaigned by the residents and elected leaders of the city and culminated on Friday, May 23, in a controversial meeting, in which Seren told the Council: “I am not her negro.”

The videos published on Tuesday come from the very first council meeting after the role of McDaniel's role in the town hall became public after the resignation of the former city administrator Dan Horigan.

Several council members said that McDaniel, who is not an employee, would be able to access areas in the town hall where sensitive files are maintained.

The Council President Tony Cuda asked Seren during the meeting to explain the city's key card.

Seren said that there are “very few” areas in the town hall that are limited and that even its key card cannot open.

“This includes the detective office, the police authority at the lower level, which includes the courts and the legal department,” said Seren.

The next morning at 7:09 a.m., the video Seren showed the law firm in which the law firm entered with a ball cap and a backpack and spoke on the phone.

He went out at 7:13 a.m. It was not clear whether he took anything out of the office.

On April 5, Seren wore a blue duffle bag. He stayed for two minutes. Again, the video did not show whether he took anything out of the office.

Cleveland.com and the simple dealer reported on May 13 that Seren was to the home of a neighbor – Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court David Matia – to confront him after Matia had shouted at McDaniel to repair her house when the judge drove with her house. Matia told him that he was not welcome to his property and sent him away. Nevertheless, Seren returned to his front door and asked Matia to call the police from Cleveland Heights that Seren said that he could be arrested for entering.

Two days later, Cleveland.com reported that the former special assistant of Seren, Patrick Costigan, had submitted a complaint to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Oho Civil Rights Commission, in which McDaniel was accused of, anti -Semitic comments about several Jewish city officials and residents in discussions as well as in a series of text messages to be accused of Costigan and Seren in April 2024.

Four days later on May 19, dozens of people protested in front of the regularly planned city council seats in front of the town hall, in which several residents of Seren resigned.

Seren finally broke the silence on May 21, six days after his wife's comments had been published for the first time. He published a 15-minute video on Facebook, in which he rejected allegations that he or his wife are anti-Semitic. He accused the Orthodox Jewish city officials, whom McDaniel described as “breeding mare … for the adhesive factory” -to abuse him first, and he asked for the empathy of the public.

On the same day, the city's legal department refused to publish police camera film material from police bodies, in which McDaniel created a disturbance in the town hall. A long -time lawyer for the first change called the rejection that did not come from a lawyer in the legal department, but from a paralegal “a joke”.
