Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Brian Williams is on leave after an FBI raid linked him to a bomb threat against city hall

Los Angeles: So, here’s the scoop. Deputy Mayor Brian Williams got put on leave after the FBI raided his home. They’re looking into a bomb threat he allegedly made against city hall.
The LAPD thought he might be the one behind the threat, but the FBI took over since he’s got ties with them. It’s a bit of a mess.
Williams was chosen by Mayor Karen Bass back in February 2023. He had a lot on his plate, overseeing the police and fire departments, plus a few other safety agencies.
Things got even crazier when wildfires broke out in LA shortly after the raid. People are now questioning Bass’s judgment in picking Williams.
When she heard about the raid, Bass released a statement that sounded a lot like her comments on the wildfires. She emphasized her job is to keep Angelenos safe and hold criminals accountable.
As of now, Williams hasn’t been arrested or charged with anything. His lawyer insists he’s innocent. Meanwhile, Bass, who was once considered for VP, is facing criticism for her handling of the wildfire situation.
She was actually in Ghana when the fires started, attending a presidential inauguration, but she claims she was kept in the loop.
