Khan held his own on Monday afternoon when asked about the videos during an appearance on St. Louis Public Radio.

A segment of a video or whatever doesn’t capture my experience that night, he told St. Louis on the Air, a show that airs on KWMU (90.7 FM).

Asked by the show’s host, Sarah Fenske, if there was anyone with him who could corroborate his claims, Khan said no.

It was me, me and me, stuck in the middle of this situation, he said.

At the committee meeting on Monday, council members heard from several law enforcement officers who were there, including Clayton Police Captain Alfred Thuet, who stood at the back of the room during the meeting. from the July 27 council, and security guard Michael Neal, who escorted Khan from the room to an elevator.

In response to questions from council members, the pair said they had not seen or heard what Khan said he had experienced.

Thuet said he did not see anyone touch Khan on leaving the bedroom, according to the KSDK video.

Neal said there were a few people who booed, heckled, telling him he was wrong getting out and after Khan gave them the middle finger a woman came in the elevator to tell him that he had been rude.
