According to LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, the California Attorney General has issued an order to return her cell phones and laptops after her home and office were at the center of a Sheriff's Department raid.
"I am glad that the equipment I need to conduct public business will once again be in my hands," she tweeted Thursday. Kuehl's home and office were the focus of a raid by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department more than a month ago.
The raid stems from an investigation that centers on the claim that Kuehl helped steer contracts to her close friend, Patti Giggan's nonprofit. According to an affidavit released by the Sheriff's Department, a whistleblower submitted a complaint saying"the personal relationship between Kuehl and Giggans," among other factors, raised questions about a potential"conflict of interest.
In court today, the State Attorney General presented an order that will, at long last, return my cell phones and laptops. I am glad that the equipment I need to conduct public business will once again be in my hands. 🧵Kuehl believes that the investigation and raid were an attempt by Sheriff Alex Villanueva to boost his profile ahead of the November election.
"Forty-three days ago, Sheriff's deputies executed an intrusive search of my home, an act that was ginned up to provide 11th-hour fuel for the Sheriff's doomed re-election bid," she tweeted.
