The Los Angeles Police Department has served search warrants as part of a criminal investigation to discover who taped a racist conversation between three members of the City Council and the head of a powerful labor union.
The covert recording made a year ago just surfaced last month and contained racist remarks against black, Asian, and white people. It led to the resignation of Council President Nury Martinez and Ron Herrera, the president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.
The warrants are focusing on communications over the past few weeks, and additional warrants could be served as the investigation progresses, the LA Times reported.
