Sheriff Villanueva calls for the removal of LA County Inspector General Max Huntsman in a letter to Attorney General Rob Bonta as DOJ takes over public corruption investigation.
A judge has ordered the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to stop searching all computers seized from the Metro Transportation Authority, MTA Office of Inspector General and Supervisor Sheila Kuehl until further notice.
Additionally, Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that the California Department of Justice has taken over the corruption investigation into Kuehl. Also, the DOJ will determine if anyone committed a crime warning the supervisor about the search warrants. In a letter addressed to Undersheriff Timothy Murakami, he added that he believed it was in the"public interest" that the DOJ takes over the investigation after Sheriff Alex Villanueva recused himself.
Last Wednesday, detectives with the Public Corruption Unit served search warrants at Kuehl's home, Giggans' home, Offices at the Los Angeles County Hall of Administration, Peace Over Violence headquarters, and LA Metro headquarters. The first letter, a thank you to the Attorney General for taking over the investigation, also thanked Bonta for opening a criminal investigation into L.A. County Inspector Max Huntsman.
