The lawyer said she faced a 'barrage' of retaliation from City Atty. Hydee Feldstein Soto after reporting an array of problems in the office, including “excessive' alcohol consumption.
A veteran city prosecutor filed a legal claim on Thursday accusing her boss, Los Angeles City Atty. Hydee Feldstein Soto, of retaliating against her for reporting 'legal and ethical violations.' Michelle McGinnis, who until April was head of the city attorney's criminal branch, alleged in the claim that Feldstein Soto based some decisions about who should be prosecuted on 'personal relationships' or 'perceived political gain.
In another incident, according to the claim, Feldstein Soto directed McGinnis to prosecute a person whom Feldstein Soto believed she had seen in a video of a protest late last year outside the Westside home of 'an Israeli lobbyist.' The claim did not identify the lobbyist or the person at the protest.
