Some Democrats are calling for Melahat Rafiei, the former head of the Orange County Democratic Party and current secretary of the California Democratic Party, to resign after it was revealed she was arrested by the FBI on suspicion of bribing public officials in 2019 prior to her involvement as a cooperating witness in a corruption probe.
The FBI tapped Rafiei’s phone for about month in the summer of 2019 and arrested her on Oct. 28, 2019.
