FBI Expands Corruption Probe into Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's Administration

Federal investigation now includes Oakland Police Department as recall efforts against Mayor Thao gain momentum.

FBI agents seized phones from Mayor Thao and her partner, Andre Jones, during raids last month.
The investigation also targets the Duong family, prominent local political donors and recycling contractors.
Authorities are scrutinizing Jones's involvement in Thao's administration and his interactions with city officials.
Federal subpoenas demand extensive records from the Oakland Police Department and City of Oakland employees.
Mayor Thao faces a recall election driven by dissatisfaction with crime and homelessness in Oakland.
