LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Police Department investigators searched the home of two people who worked at the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor as part of the department’s investigation into a secretly recorded, racially charged conversation that sparked last year’s City Hall scandal, it was reported on July 24.

The Los Angeles Times, citing sources who spoke anonymously because of the ongoing investigation, reported that officers searched the Eagle Rock home of Santos Leon and Karla Vasquez earlier this month. The two are married and were employed by the federation when the recording took place.
