A Los Angeles judge has ruled the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department properly obtained warrants to search the home of county Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and other locations targeted in a political corruption probe.

However, he ordered the agency to turn over any items seized in the searches to the state Attorney General’s Office, which has taken over the investigation earlier this week.
