Phan West’s Legal and Political Crossroads | Los Angeles News

A year after being charged with attempted bribery, councilmember Phan West faces renewed legal pressure as the DA seeks to scrap her plea deal and send her to trial, citing repeated misuse of her position—including handing out campaign flyers at a public parade—and her dismissive attitude toward accountability. Despite past clashes with city hall, including formal censure and lawsuits over disruptive behavior, she’s now running for re-election in November, while a court hearing on August 11 will determine if she complied with her ethics program. The case pits legal accountability against political defiance, with public trust hanging in the balance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
