Bonin was set to attend Wednesday's Council meeting via Zoom, but the meeting was adjourned early after continual interruptions from protestors in the council chambers. Bonin's positive COVID test result comes as he navigates the fallout from a leaked audio recording with racist and disparaging comments targeting his family. The recording has shaken LA city politics since the LA Times first reported on it on Sunday.
