The request for donations was in a video that was circulated to members of the Sheriff’s Department.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is being investigated by the District Attorney’s Office to determine if he violated campaign finance laws with a video plea to deputies for donations during hisThe investigation, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, focuses on a video that was circulated to members of the department last week.
“It’s up to each and every one of you who you want to be as sheriff,” he said on the video. “We’re gonna win this thing, and Lord willing, and if you want to help, anything will help us get our message out there, get our ads online and on TV and our texting going on.”According to The Times, state law and Sheriff’s Department policy both prohibit an agency employee from soliciting political contributions from other employees.
“The video has come to our attention,” Blacknell said. “We take these matters seriously and it is currently under review. A formal investigation by our PID union has been initiated. We cannot comment further at this time.” He also said District Attorney George Gascón — whom Villanueva has repeatedly publicly criticized as being soft on crime — should recuse himself from the investigation.
