Read the documents surrounding a whistleblower lawsuit against Flint Mayor Karen Weaver

FLINT, MI — Mayor Karen Weaver and the City of Flint have been engulfed in a whistleblower lawsuit filed by former City Administrator Natasha Henderson.

Henderson, who was hired by former Emergency Manager Darnell Earley, filed a federal lawsuit May 2016 saying she was fired from her job after asking Flint’s legal department to investigate claims that Weaver told a city employee to divert water crisis donations into a fund created by her supporters.

Henderson was hired February 2015 under a five-year contract. She was fired February 2016.

Here are court documents surrounding that lawsuit including Weaver’s deposition and evidence submitted in court.
