California Attorney General Rob Bonta has declined to pursue criminal charges against former Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, his office announced Aug. 7.

Bonta claimed an independent investigation into allegations of political corruption against Kuehl and Peace Over Violence Director Patricia Giggans, made by a whistleblower two years ago, resulted in “insufficient evidence.”
