St. Cloud law firm targeted pro-Trump employees for firing, suit says – StarTribune.com
A St. Cloud law firm is in turmoil after a round of firings that began with its leader going after employees he believed were supporters of former President Donald Trump, according to a lawsuit filed in Stearns County District Court.
In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, when Trump supporters violently stormed the building to prevent congressional certification of Joe Biden’s election as president, the suit alleges that law firm president Wesley Scott sought to fire employees he believed had made pro-Trump posts on social media.
Three partners whom Scott fired William Kain, Margaret Henehan and Kelsey Quarberg are suing for wrongful termination. They were working at Kain and Scott, a St. Cloud-based law firm specializing in bankruptcy cases with offices in nine Minnesota cities including Brainerd, Duluth, Eagan, Maple Grove and Rochester.
This will turn out to be complicated I betcha.
