FBI agents searched the home of Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Brian Williams on Tuesday as part of an investigation into a bomb threat allegedly made against City Hall earlier this year. Deputy Mayor of Communications Zach Seidl said in a statement that Williams was immediately placed on administrative leave following the threat. The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the threat and determined there was no 'immediate danger,' Seidl said.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass named Williams deputy mayor of public safety in 2023. He was responsible for the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Port of Los Angeles Police, the Los Angeles World Airport Police and the Emergency Management Department. Part of his role included advancing prevention and intervention strategies, according to the mayor's website. LAPD officials said in a statement that 'due to the Department's working relationship with Mr. Williams, the investigation was referred to the FBI. The FBI remains the investigating agency.' Laura Eimiller, a spokesperson for the FBI, declined to comment on the situation. She said no arrests have been made.
