Damaging Scandal that's engulfed Progressive Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao deepens as shocking new detail emerges about FBI Raid on her home
Feds who raided Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's home last month left with a phone belonging to her and her partner Andre Jones, it's been revealed.
The fact was first reported by
The San Francisco Chronicle, after it was already revealed that agents left with the mayor's cellphone and her personal computer.
Within five days, a federal grand jury issued a subpoena to the Bay Area city that demanded all 'documents and communications related to Andre Jones' be turned over.
They also requested all 'calendar entries or records' of meetings that included either one of the two since June 2022 - five months before Thao, 39, was even elected.
More than a month later, feds have yet to say why they are interested in the pair, but the seizure of Jones' cellphone raise questions about the potential involvement of a man who played a small but significant role in the mayor's political career.
The spotlight on Jones had already widened in recent weeks, as Thao's former chief of staff, Renia Webb, publicly accused him of corruption.
Despite working in politics for decades - once as Oakland city Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan's chief of staff - Jones's life and political career is surprisingly shrouded in mystery. The fresh subpoena's appear to hint that he is the subject of feds' probe
The fact was first reported by The San Francisco Chronicle , after it was already revealed that agents left behind the mayor's cellphone, as well as her computer.
