| Ex Mayor of Oakland is indicted |
| 2025-01-17 |
| (KRON) — Former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is now facing criminal charges, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report published Thursday. The Chronicle, citing anonymous sources, reports Thao has been criminally indicted by a federal grand jury. The indictment comes after last year's FBI raid of Thao's Oakland home. Thao was recalled in November's election after serving two years as Oakland's mayor. Thao's final day in office was in December. Since the FBI raid back in June, Thao has repeatedly claimed her innocence and said she is not the target of the investigation. In her exit interview as mayor last month, Thao told KRON4, "I'm innocent. I've done nothing wrong." ------------------ Toward the end of her mayorship, her spokesman and her lawyer quit. This may have to do with some bounced checks that were to pay for direct mail attack fliers. The FBI will be making some kind of announcement on this on 17 January or shortly thereafter Related: Sheng Thao 11/08/2024 Oakland voted to recall @MayorShengThao and @AlamedaCountyDA Pam Price.

| #1 There ought to be an Oakland Mayor template for this article where the names and crime details are blank. Maybe AI takes care of that now. |
