Raymond Chan worked for city of LA for decades, and now faces possible prison for alleged corrupt actions.
Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan coordinated a $600,000 loan from a Chinese billionaire doing business with the city to then-Councilman José Huizar to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit that threatened Huizar’s reelection, an FBI agent testified on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at Chan’s federal criminal trial.
At the same time, the emails suggest Chan acted as Huizar’s fawning and subservient No. 1 fan, at various points calling him “eloquent,” “unbelievable” and “our savior.” “It’s a great story,” Chan’s attorney, Harland Braun, said sarcastically in his opening statement Tuesday, telling the jury there is not “a speck of evidence” that his client acted improperly.
Chan worked for the city for almost three dozen years, serving at one point as the top executive overseeing the Department of Building and Safety, which reviews building plans and inspects construction projects.
