1 day agoS.F. Ethics Commission will weigh in on Lurie-Trump phone records
Mayor Daniel Lurie faces scrutiny for not disclosing records of his call with President Trump regarding federal agent deployment.
Mayor Daniel Lurie's office has violated California public-records law by refusing to release information about the mayor's October call with President Donald Trump, a committee of city public-records commissioners ruled on Tuesday. The pivotal conversation between the two men preceded the president cancelling a planned "surge" of immigration agents to the Bay Area. A three-person committee of the city's Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, the body responsible for compliance with the city's public-records law, said Tuesday that Lurie's office had broken the California Public Records Act by claiming records related to the Oct. 22 call, including any logs, transcripts, and notes, are exempt under "attorney-client privilege."
