Boston Mayor Michelle Wu' s re-election campaign has been derailed after a sordid love triangle in her hyper-woke administration allegedly ended in violence.
Two City Hall employees Marwa Khudaynazar, 27, and Chulan Huang, 26, were fired after facing domestic violence charges from an alleged cheating scandal involving a third unnamed city official.
But critics are now demanding answers over whey another high-ranking official named in the dispute was allowed to keep their job.
Khudaynazar, former chief of staff at the Office of Police Accountability and Transparency, and Huang, former neighborhood liaison for Downtown, Chinatown, and the Leather District, were arrested last Thursday.
They were both charged with assault and battery on a household member, while Khudaynazar was also charged with assault and battery on a police officer, according to court documents first reported by the Boston.
Both pleaded not guilty.
Khudaynazar allegedly told officers she suspected her boyfriend of a year was having an affair, so she went on a date with his own boss earlier that night. She then allegedly showed up at his apartment to gloat about her betrayal.
Huang, who lives at the apartment where the dispute took place, allegedly told officers, 'She went on a date with my boss', adding 'they booked a hotel and she came here to rub it in my face'.
City Councilor Ed Flynn and mayoral candidate Josh Kraft have called for Segun Idowu, chief of economic opportunity and inclusion who oversees the department where Huang worked, to be terminated.
Kraft is now demanding Wu release her internal investigation report that allegedly cleared other city workers of wrongdoing.
'The public deserves more information,' Kraft said.
'The police report indicated the incident stemmed from a relationship with a city employee in a position of authority,' Flynn said. 'Although it may not be an issue of power dynamics, unanswered questions regarding relationships in the workplace remain.
'It is critical to restore public trust with an independent investigation into the relevant city departments, and ensure we are not creating a culture that facilitates a hostile work environment,' he added.
'Two aides were dismissed following a domestic dispute that resulted in violence against a police officer, but with no consequences for Segun Idowu, a top aide to the mayor, who is allegedly involved with one of the aides that was fired,' Kraft said.
'If the public is to have any confidence in the 'internal investigation' that Mayor Wu claims 'found no violations of laws or city workplace policies by any other city employees,' she should release the report to the public,' Kraft said.
'The mayor should also inform the public if the terminated city employees will be receiving a severance payout, and a copy of the city's workplace policies.'
This comes after the mayor was accused of 'dictatorial' behavior for kicking an employee out of office just days after he announced plans to run against her in this year's election.
John Houton, a lawyer in Boston's city treasury, says he was put on paid administrative leave for challenging his boss, Wu, a punishment he likens to communist-run China.
Both candidates are Democrats. But while Wu, 40, trumpets Boston's pro-immigrant sanctuary rules, Houton, 58, says he would help the Trump administration round up illegals, if elected.
'I'd expect this from Chairman Mao's China, but not modern-day Boston,' Houton told Daily Mail.
'It's clearly an effort to intimidate me and my family and to stop me from collecting signatures. Other city employees are running for office, but I am singled out because of my particular speech and content.'
Wu's office says City Hall lawyers have to stay 'non-political' and that the mayor was not involved in the decision about Houton's job.
Houton announced plans to unseat Wu earlier this month, saying the progressive mayor's anti-Trump rhetoric will cost the city in federal dollars, and is out of step with blue-collar Boston voters.
The married dad-of-three offers Bostonians instead a platform of 'kitchen table' issues to tackle migrant flows into Massachusetts, homelessness, high housing costs and traffic.
