Republican California Assemblyman Bill Essayli submitted an ethics complaint letter on Dec. 12 asking the Legislature to investigate alleged standards of conduct violations related to a federal bribery plea agreement unsealed earlier this month.
The plea agreement for Baldwin Park City Attorney Robert Manuel Nacionales Tafoya, who pleaded guilty to bribery and tax evasion charges, alleges that an individual identified as “Person 20,” a public official who ran for state office in 2018, solicited and received money that was subsequently used to fund his or her campaign.
