Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) wants to delay a Senate vote on Mayor Eric Garcetti’s nomination to become ambassador to India so allegations that Garcetti ignored sexual harassment in his office can be investigated.

In a letter sent Thursday by Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Grassley indicated that he had put a hold on the Senate vote on Garcetti. latimes.com/california/sto…
The mayor was pressed about the sexual harassment claims by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who asked about accusations that he failed to intervene as his former aide, Rick Jacobs, allegedly harassed staffers in the mayor’s office. latimes.com/politics/story…
A Los Angeles police officer who served for seven years as Garcetti’s bodyguard claimed in a 2020 lawsuit that Garcetti witnessed Jacobs harass him but did nothing to stop it. Jacobs has denied the allegations. latimes.com/california/sto…
Garcetti’s onetime chief spokeswoman filed a complaint with local, state and federal prosecutors last month, demanding that the mayor be prosecuted for perjury for repeatedly denying that he knew about another former aide’s alleged sexual misconduct.

The amount of evidence collected as part of the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection rivals what the Hubble telescope has amassed in its three-decade orbit.

And sorting through it all has ground many of its criminal cases to a halt.

Here’s how they’re adapting: latimes.com/business/story…
Ben Valdez was driving every day for Uber but has cut back to one day, partly because of gas prices.

"I will only drive when it makes sense...If there is no demand, no surge, I won’t move it. It just doesn’t make any sense to do it."

Ariana Escalante recently purchased a Tesla Model 3 long range.

“My car gets 358 miles on a charge. I think the Hyundai Sonata I drove for 10 years was around 360 or 370 miles per tank. So, almost an exact match.” latimes.com/business/story… Image
