FBI agents on Thursday conducted an early morning raid on the home of Democrat Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, possibly in relation to a corruption probe.
Agents with the Bureau were seen removing boxes from the mayor’s home around 10AM, however they did not immediately identify the cause of the raid.
“The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time,” the FBI said.
In a statement on X, ABC7 chief investigative reporter Dan Noyes claimed he’d received a tip from a law enforcement source the raid was in relation to a “public corruption investigation of Thao and her boyfriend.”
