LEWES, Del. - Lewes Deputy Mayor Khalil Saliba has been cleared of virtually all allegations made against him by two senior Lewes city officials, according to sources inside Lewes City Hall.
The findings, from an independent review, are expected to be released following a Lewes City Council executive session Monday afternoon.
The investigation examined formal workplace harassment, bullying, retaliation and discrimination complaints filed against Saliba by City Manager Ellen Lorraine McCabe and Deputy City Manager Janet Reeves.
The complaints accused Saliba of a pattern of hostile conduct dating back to the summer of 2025, including intimidation, public humiliation and discriminatory behavior toward city administration staff.
Saliba has repeatedly denied the allegations, calling them categorically false.
Sources inside Lewes City Hall tell CoastTV News investigators found no conclusive evidence supporting Reeves and McCabe's claims against Saliba. According to sources, the report does identify one instance in which Saliba's conduct may have violated the city's workplace bullying policy, but even that is not conclusive.
McCabe and Reeves announced their complaints in May and called for Saliba's resignation. He rejected the allegations and said he looked forward to demonstrating the truth.
Mayor Amy Marasco later said the city would retain an outside investigator to examine these allegations. The investigation was separate from another inquiry into the removal of a Historic Preservation Architectural Review Commission meeting video from the city's website.
