BREAKING NEWS: LAPD is now investigating whether a recording last year that captured city councilmembers' racist remarks was made illegally, the police chief said Tuesday.
Disclosure of the recording earlier this month unleashed a citywide scandal just weeks before Election Day. The council president, Nury Martinez, resigned in disgrace, while two other councilmembers have resisted widespread calls for their ousters.
The group, all Latino Democrats, was captured on the recording scheming to protect their political clout in the redrawing of council districts during an hourlong conversation laced with bigoted comments. Martinez, de León, Cedillo and Herrera approached the Los Angeles Police Department on Friday and asked for the agency to open an investigation, Moore said.
