LA City Attorney Mike Feuer was scheduled to participate in a December 2017 meeting that’s been revealed as a key moment in the extortion prosecution of one of Feuer’s former top deputies, as part of a widening federal investigation into allegations of corruption at the Department of Water and Power amid the utility’s excessive billing debacle, according to records obtained by NBC4’s I-Team.
"There's no question that someone who's running for Mayor, someone who's sitting in the City Attorney's office has to answer the question, what was he doing in that room? And what did he know?," Court said.
The I-Team initially asked Feuer about the 2017 meeting on March 8, after a private attorney who worked on the DWP litigation for the City filed a state bar complaint that claimed Feuer was one of those 'senior members,' and accused Feuer of lying about participation in the meeting. "That allegation has absolutely no merit to it, it's from a confessed felon, who's violations we discovered," he continued.Last November the private attorney who filed the bar complaint against Feuer, Paul Paradis, agreed to plead guilty to a federal bribery charge for receiving a near-$2.2-million kickback for his role in manipulating a class action lawsuit that was supposed to recoup millions of dollars for thousands of overcharged DWP customers.
Another former DWP executive, David F. Alexander, has agreed to plead guilty to making false statements to FBI agents. Federal prosecutors say Alexander was negotiating a 'lucrative job offer' connected with Paradis while serving as the DWP's chief information security officer.
