While attempting an undercover inspection of the mayor's gift room, investigators were denied access to a log of gifts that is supposed to be publicly available.

A report released Wednesday found Johnson’s office violated a policy requiring mayors to record gifts above $50 and “accepted on behalf of the City” in a publicly available log.

Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing questions about transparency and accountability after the city's Inspector General said valuable gifts have been improperly reported and kept in a special room at City Hall.
