FBI targets LA's City Hall, DWP in scathing investigation nypost.com/2019/07/22/fbi… via @nypost
FBI agents descended on Los Angeles’s City Hall and a public utilities agency Monday amid a wide-ranging federal probe into the local government, according to a new report.
The FBI publicly acknowledged that its investigators, armed with a search warrant, were at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power on Monday.
The development comes amid a probe into foreign investments in LA real estate, although it’s not clear yet whether the two are related.
Among the local figures already targeted by search warrants are two councilmen, as well as high-level appointees of @ericgarcetti and the council president.
Also named are higher-ups in Chinese firms that are providing the funding for several new residential and hotel towers in downtown LA.
