Democratic Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao faced the public for the first time Monday since the FBI raided her home last Thursday.
Thao denied any wrongdoing and suggested that the federal investigation may have targeted her due to her background rather than any criminal activity, according to the New York Post. The raid, part of an operation that involved the IRS and U.S. Postal Service, took place early Thursday morning at Thao’s residence in the Lincoln Highlands neighborhood of Oakland.
Mayor Thao, who is currently grappling with a potential recall due to increasing crime rates and the departure of the Oakland A’s sports team, expressed her frustrations during a press statement Monday.
