FBI Raids Home of LA Deputy Mayor Brian Williams, Placed on Leave Over Alleged City Hall Bomb Threat
Dec 19, 2024, 12:02 AM
The FBI raided the home of Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Brian Williams on Tuesday in connection with a bomb threat he allegedly made against City Hall earlier this year. Williams, who serves as the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety, was immediately placed on administrative leave following the raid. The Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) initial investigation identified Williams as the likely source of the threat, which prompted the referral of the case to the FBI. Mayor Karen Bass's office, notified of the search by spokesperson Zach Seidl, has taken the matter seriously, emphasizing the importance of public safety. The exact date of the alleged threat remains unspecified, and no immediate danger was found following the initial LAPD investigation.
