to allegedly leaking a Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury report about the council’s relationship with the San Francisco 49ers to the team and to the Silicon Valley Voice, and then lying about it.
During a March 29 hearing, Jain — one of Becker’s allies on the council — said that the councilmember had called him two to three weeks prior and admitted that he had leaked the grand jury report to Carolyn Schuk, an editor at the hyperlocal news outlet the Silicon Valley Voice. The report was supposed to be made public on Oct. 10, 2022, but a draft of the report was published in several media outlets, including this one, on Oct. 7.
“He told me he was concerned about, like, the negative press that it was going to cause,” Andre said. “And he said something about wanting to get ahead of the report, or he wanted positive coverage when it was reported.” Becker at first said no, but then later admitted to him that Cardona had leaked the report, according to Andre. Becker and Cordona were married in January, according to testimony from Becker’s mother, Virginia Goncalves.
