A federal grand jury is demanding the City of Oakland turn over a trove of documents following last month's FBI raid on Mayor Sheng Thao 's home. Federal agents also raided three other locations connected to the politically connected Duong family, including the city's curbside recycler California Waste Solutions, owned and run by the Duong family.
'The feds are looking at both the campaign of the mayor as well as conduct that occurred afterwards,' said legal analyst Steven Clark. Clark, a former Santa Clara County District Attorney and now criminal defense attorney, says that based on the documents the FBI is asking for, he believes this is a 'pay to play' investigation, and the FBI is looking for evidence of possible bribery or public corruption.
