- Chicago's former mayor Lori Lightfoot, who was hired to investigate Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, presented her findings Thursday in an ongoing investigation in Dolton's finances and Henyard, who is mired in scandalous allegations.
WGN's Ben Bradley reports on the story.
When Lightfoot says you're corrupt....you're REALLY corrupt!
Or she might wanna be mayor again
I'm not sure Lightfoot would be credible....
@@bonniehage8163 watching dems city, anything is possible. Like Netflix
Why is the Fat Boy quiet?
was lightfoot corrupt?
i remember her being incompetent and racist but i don't remember her being corrupt.
So in summary, somebody said "Beetlejuice" three times, then a criminal suddenly appeared to investigate another criminal.
Was light foot charged with a crime? Or is that media speculation because people did not like her?
Lightfoot is not known for stealing period but she is known to be a great prosecutor!!! She did a great job in revealing Tiffany crimes!!
@@TatiaunaGorbachevshe’s a Democrat they literally can’t do anything wrong everyone knows that
Kermit the frog 😂
The FBI shouldn’t drag this out any longer. They need to move in NOW
The fbi is too busy covering up other crimes.. Daltons going to have to figure this one out on their own.
I truly don’t understand how she has been able to get away with it for so long. She’s been in the news for corruption for MONTHS!
I agree💯💯
Under this admin on a colored woman? wut? do we live on different planets?
This is going to be a complex RICO case with dozens of charges and half a dozen defendants. That's what's taking so long.
Dolton deserves this. Remember, they voted her in.
"Irresponsible spending"? More like criminal
Irresponsible spending is when you buying something with your own money whilst knowing you have a bill that’s coming due very soon and you know when you get paid again and that’s not just around the corner . so yes I agree with you . I think she was trying to be polite here
That’s what I’m saying that’s a very kind headline lol
if she were a different demographic, she would have been in jail months ago.
@@disciplemike1your comment only highlights your ignorance
Typical democrat.
Nothing will ever be done to these people. Evil is rewarded in America
They hired a criminal yet they are surprised when she commits crimes. 🤔
Exactly
They forgot the hiring part😅😅😅
Voted for
Yup. Sounds about right.
and hired a failure of a mayor to investigate
The ignorance isn’t in these mayors, it’s the people who voted for them, good job Chicago.
Chicago is run by nagas, what do you expect?
you sound like you are from Naperville. i spent the first half of my childhood in the south suburbs and dolton is not in chicago.
When she hasn't got that gold microphone in front if her she's a totally different person 😂
@@AMD1 aka shitcago
@@grrggasior7340 ok.. still not in chicago
Illinois should have stepped in after THREE YEARS of Dolton failing to disclose financial records.
Illinois didn’t step in when the Comptroller from the birthplace of President Reagan stole $53 Million nor should they step in to help a lib city.
Run by democrats. Shes one of their fellow criminals.
The state is run by a fat criminal. This is right up his ally.
A democrap going after another democrap???????????? that's funny chit
@@ttfahd How do you reconcile the idea that Lightfoot is one too?
Who needs a criminal lawyer to speak on their behalf? A criminal.
WHY DOES A PART- TIME MAYOR NEED A GOVT CREDIT CARD.🤬🤬🤬
Or a police bodyguard or plenty of the other questionable expenses…
weaves and nails and lobsters ain't gonna pay for themselves
The credit card i understand as she may need to make legitimate purchases due to her job but other than that, no
@@cmj0929 go to your towns mayor and ask them if they have or use a government credit card? I’ll bet you it’s a no.
She be big impotent government official.
If ex Mayor Lightfoot, is amazed you know you messed up!!!
Nothing like an incompetent mayor investigating an incompetent mayor.
Haha right this is almost like a real life silence if the lambs
There’s a big different between incompetence and thievery. Lori has never been accused of gross financial mismanagement. I didn’t vote for Lori but Just as I said of current Mayor Brandon they bit off more than they could chew. Being mayor of a big city they weren’t aren’t prepared for. Both probably would be better mayors for cities such as Dolton. This city hasn’t been run correctly since Mayor Daley(J)
@@melissalsmith883Exactly.
@@melissalsmith883
Mayor Brandon and Mayor Lightfoot blamed the wrong people for the mess that Chicago is in. Both of those incompetent twits stood by and pandered to their base. They both knew full well that their policies along with the city commissioners would fail. What they didn't count on was the mass exodus of businesses and the middle class. Chicago will become like Detroit, Michigan or Gary, Indiana.
Tiffany Henyard believed that the 82 percent of boneheads that elected her would have her back. Well, you get what you vote for. Way too many warning signs were ignored. The worst part is other people that live in Illinois are going to have to bail Dalton out of the mess it created.
She was caught stealing a car and then YOU guys VOTED for her,
and then YOU hired BeetleJuice YOU deserve what you voted 4 lmao
You’re just trying to copy Anton Daniels to seem cool
Her delusion about her “job” and that puffed-up, entitled ego is astounding. Lock her up!
@@calyx93 DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR. MENTAL ILLNESS.
She needs to pay back every dollar - NOW!
Why is she not behind bars? This is a slap in the face to every resident in that town and state.
I hope all the bad things she has done in the past dont get forgotten about because there is so many of them
3.65 million-dollar deficit compliments of the Super Mayer. Now put that same "super mayor" in a super max prison where she belongs !!
It’s your super prisoner 🎉
Supermax is for dangerous offenders...🤡
Don’t forgot the $40 million in pending lawsuits that the villages insurance may or may not cover. Which if the insurance ends up not covering would bankrupt the village unless the citizens approve a bond issue, which would likely double property taxes if they did so there will in all likelihood not be a bond issue. Then the village would go into state administration.
takes a cheater to catch a cheater... they got the right person for it.
5.5 million deficit for a small city is insane
More than THAT.
Starting with a $2 million surplus don't forget
Especially In The Short Amount Of Time It Took To Get There From a Surplus
Well, they voted for her, so now accept her “leadership” decisions
what???? Shes not in jail yet??? Anyone of us would be behind bars....
It’s that privilege.
Yes but WE don't have Melanin Privilege.
B privilege
@@timweb1510 That popped in my head. Weird we live in this world now.
Paying Lightfoot to identify and call out misuse of funds and corruption is like paying Homer Simpson to run a nuclear safety seminar.
30k for this Report, where's the money.
You got that right.
The irony of Lightfoot being involved in this.
Looks like they hired the most expensive team of lawyers that they could find.
To be fair she was never corrupt, just really progressive and bad at her job
She is an expert at being bad at controlling a city, so they hired the expert.
She did a splendid job last night that you can’t ever knock her on ever.
One thing for sure Lightfoot is noted as being good at her job !! She might not of been a good Mayor but as least she did not steal from the residents!!
You know what's bad when Lori Lightfoot is calling you out for being a bad mayor 😂
The leadership of this country is a joke😮
I disagree... I heard a joke once before, and it made me laugh. This is no laughing matter.

Whoever the person is that has been covering for her should be investigated too, there is no way she would still be in office after all this time and all of this blatant corruption.
It’s not one person, it’s a political party, democrats.
I mean, who voted her in? The residents of Dalton will pay the price for their misjudged opinions!
Got to give it to Lightfoot. Nobody understands corruption like she does.
😂
4 real
She’s an interesting one.
Experience.
🙋🏾♂️ They're going to elect her.
She needs to spend every day of the rest of her life behind bars. She shouldn’t ever see the light of day again.
This is the stupid system in America whereby a Mayor is in charge of the Police Department, does not people see a conflict of interest in that, when you have a corrupt Mayor
They see it now.... But it's too late. She bankrupted them.
@@nooneyouknow5516 But this situation is America wide, complete stupidity.
@@jamesmatheson5115 I don't think it's quite THIS bad across the country, but it's headed in that direction and will be eventually. They WANT this. Maybe that's why the FBI hasn't swooped in yet. I haven't let my cynical mind go quite that far. 😵💫

Tiffany lived like a millionaire until the City of Dolton ran out of money. Prison for Tiffany Henyard.
We all know what Lightfoot did. She was definitely the worst choice to investigate someone.
She's going to JAIL 😂😂😂😂

No.... she's going to a federal penitentiary.
Jail is for petty crimes.
Never!!
She is going under the jail 😭😭💀💀

How long does an investigation into a small town Mayor take exactly? 😳
Why did she act like she's totally different than the constituents? Why did she tell you how she felt when she seen the numbers? And so that then she understands how you felt. Didn't she suppose to be part of us? Who is she? She's not a mayor anymore she's nobody why is she even up on the stage
Where are the feds?
Feds get it lock tight. They’ll vote her out in February. Then, in my opinion, you’ll be listening to a news review months from now. You’ll have long forgotten and then: TONIGHT, The Tiffany Henyard raid…..wait a minute… she didn’t go to that meeting tonight..🤔🤔 What if instead of a cuff walk…she runs? 2024 is kinda wild like that.
Gotta wait until the presidential elections to see if they prosecute or not. Dems will give a slap on the writs for a 10% cut.
Busy investigating parents who don't want their kids indoctrinated at school.
Bought off by the democrats with all our taxpayer dollars. They will never be investigated or looked into to. Way to much corruption
She’s been under a federal grand jury investigation since last November. Feds like their high conviction rates, so they’re going to wait until they have her dead to rights and then slap her silly with enough counts to guarantee her a prison cell until she’s in her 60s, then she’ll plead out, even with a plea deal I don’t see her doing anything less than 10 years.
Why would anyone want lightfoot involved. Blows my mind lol
What do you expect when you elect a mayor who thinks her “Good Burger”, a crappy hamburger injected with putrid sauces was an idea worthy of shark tank.
😂😂😂 “injected with putrid sauces”.
A corrupt mayor investigating another corrupt criminal mayor. Arsenio Hall, "Things that make you go hmm." 😂
The overtime spending was crazy!!! How the police chief get over 200,000 in ot and he’s salary
By law you are allowed overtime, salaried or not. However, this was over the top!
I'm thinking sexual favors and paybacks. For sure he was in on the scam
He wasn’t even allowed to get ANY overtime money! So he knowingly took this money illegally.
@@ShiningLight411 no he wasn’t allowed ot per his contract
I stand corrected. The chief was not a collective bargaining agreement, so he was not allowed overtime. Thanks guys!
You weren’t in Las Vegas, her wig jumped. Next frame she’s with a defense lawyer, oh boy!!!
Tiffany A Henyard Was Also Invited To The White House And got A Picture Of Her And Joe Biden
Democrats take care of each other.
Biden just wanted his cut of the take.
Birds of a feather...
When Beetlejuice says you've been an awful mayor, that's about as bad as it gets.
Henyard was arrested before for breaking into cars and stealing property. So now she gets into a government position and does the same thing. Once a thief always a thief. A narcissistic thief at that.
I'm surprised that a felony burglary charge doesn't phase the vetting process when people apply to run for office.
Just send her to prison for the rest of her life, sell everything she owns and give that money to the city. She technically owes that city and township around 10 million dollars. Went from like 5 million surplus to 5 million in debt.
Looks like Lil Wayne with a wig on
They hired a criminal to investigate a criminal 😂😂
So they let a crook investigate an alleged crook.
"It takes a thief to catch a thief." - Chicago way, probably
Wow, they somehow got Lightfoot to do some actual work.
The important note on the Amazon expenditures is that the village of Dolton didn't have an account with Amazon. It is very likely that these $43,000 worth of purchases on village credit was not for village use. This report was an alarming report on Henyard. As the news and Mayor Lightfoot said, this is only the beginning. Mayor Lightfoot said repeatedly at the meeting that many receipts have not been recovered. Hopefully they can find out how much Henyard and her cronies spent because it was much more than the $3.5 Million than is being reported.
Where are the receipts
I agree with one of the residents when they say Tiffany belongs in jail. She absolutely belongs in jail enough of the corruption that is causing we. The people that pay for the services to not have services of all kinds again. Tiffany belongs in jail. I would say a 5 year sentence minimum, maybe even 8.
“Liars and opportunists” pot calling the kettle black
Hahaha I'm sorry her face and reaction was priceless when asked about going to Las Vegas. She looked like a little kid caught lieing
Upsetting. Lock her up‼️
Vote for crooks, you get crooks. Pretty simple.
So when does she get arrested?
She’s so corrupt 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. Great reporting by Ben Bradley!
I’ve always wondered if Dolton put its mayor’s name on city hall before she was elected.

If Lightfoot is pulling you up on your actions you truly are crooked.

This is a common practice in the State of Illinois. It is out of control in Chicago.

They wont.
If they didnt learn from mlk and x they can never learn from their mistakes.
Every bit…
It's Illinois. If Chicago is an example, they'll vote in someone even worse. Let's go Brandon
NOT EVERYONE VOTED FOR HER!!!
ALL THAT DID NOT VOTE FOR HER, HAS BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO EXPOSE HER.
A lot people are dumb so they vote for their personalities. Being in office should always be about credentials, their policies, track record etc. Personality should be the last thing they should be worried about. The fact that she got 80% of the vote is shocking. Her calling herself a super mayor should've been a red flag.
The government you elect, is the government you deserve - Thomas Jefferson.
Is there not state oversight that’s supposed to prevent this? WTH state of Illinois how was this allowed to happen
I take it you don’t know Illinois’ history. Henyard fits right in.
Friends in high places protecting her.
She gonna say she thought she got the 6 million dollar grant but the money never came.
Throwing out props to the former Mayor Lightfoot. Nobody can question her experience. She has been there and can count that.
All of America is waiting for this situation to come to justice.
Why is there no Authority organ not arresting her ??? Why are they afraid of her >>>
An Illinois politician misusing taxpayer's money?! I'm shocked!!!
😁
Prison. Arrest her now.
This is like some comedy routine. They get one crooked corrupt mayor to investigate another 😂😂😂😂
At this point, wouldn’t be surprised if she flees the country this weekend.
Same suspects same people same ole same ole
This is what happens when you don’t do a background check before you hire a career criminal thief as mayor or on a village board. I think she’s going to get away with all of it, she has qualified immunity and reasons for everything she’s doing. Even if it’s in violation of state law she can still not produce anything and get away with all of it. This is nothing new with mayors Tiffany just went a little over board but she’s going to walk away after she’s bankrupted the township
This is what happens when people do DEI voting. Most qualified? Screw that, who checks the most boxes?😊
Ok, everything but the "Tiff Cares" fake charity? How would she explain that? Identify theft? Interesting.
