"The Sunshine Ordinance Task Force ruled in December that Mayor Daniel Lurie had acted illegally in shielding records from the public regarding his October 22 phone call with Trump."
"Lurie had previously claimed attorney-client privilege in keeping records of the phone call private, but the mayor's team asserts that no recordings or transcripts exist."
"Dexter Darmali, the mayor's legislative and ethics secretary, stated, 'Documents are believed to exist, so they must exist,' but that is not the case."
"The Sunshine Ordinance does not require the city to produce documents if they do not exist, raising concerns about transparency in this significant exchange."
