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.

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.

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.
