LAPD Chief Michel Moore said the department is investigating whether the leaked audio that led to the City Hall racism scandal was recorded illegally.
Herrera stepped down as president of the L.A. County Federation of Labor shortly after the leaked conversation became public.
Martinez and de León both made racially charged remarks during the conversation as the group was discussing the politically sensitive process of redrawing council district boundaries. "They're raising him like a little white kid," Martinez said. "I was like, `This kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back."'De León also criticized Bonin, saying "Mike Bonin won't f---ing ever say peep about Latinos. He'll never say a f---ing word about us."
