Controversy swirls over Vignarajah's mayoral endorsement

Questions arose about Baltimore Democratic mayoral candidate Thiru Vignarajah's endorsement shortly after he dropped out of the race. Mayor Brandon Scott's campaign told 11 News shortly after Vignarajah's announcement that Vignarajah offered his endorsement to the mayor in exchange to become police commissioner or CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools. The mayor's campaign told 11 News that Scott and Vignarajah spoke last week and Wednesday morning, and the mayor said he absolutely cannot do that and that he does not do backroom deals.
