Partners of A St. Cloud Law Firm Claim They Were Fired For Supporting Trump

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — Three former partners at a St. Cloud law firm are suing the firm’s president after he fired them and other employees he felt supported former President Donald Trump.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports William Kain, Margaret Henehan and Kelsey Quarberg are alleging wrongful termination.

The three were partners at the Kain and Scott law firm.

They allege the president, Wesley Scott, was upset over the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6 and told the firm’s operations manager to fire two employees he considered racist because they supported Trump on social media.

When the manager refused he fired her and another employee.

Scott then fired the partners after they told him it’s illegal to fire someone for their political beliefs.
