Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and her criminal defense attorney – hired a day after the FBI raided her home last week – quickly parted ways.
Both Thao and Tony Brass told reporters on Monday that she was no longer his client. He was retained on Friday.But whose decision it was to end the relationship wasn't immediately clear.What was clear is that the two split after Thao spoke publicly at a news conference Monday, declaring that she had done nothing wrong, would not resign and was the victim of a right-wing conspiracy.
"She said she would share the name of her new lawyer once the deal was finalized.But Brass' timeline varies from the mayor's. He said it was he who withdrew from being her counsel and that it happened on Monday, not over the weekend. "I asked to withdraw from being her attorney today, and she accepted," Brass told KTVU. "She thanked me for the work I've done, and it appears she is going to be moving on with different counsel.
