NEW: A Santa Clara City Council member has been charged with perjury for allegedly lying to a civil grand jury about leaking a report critical of the relationship between the council and the San Francisco 49ers, prosecutors say.
Councilman Anthony Becker is accused of leaking a then-secret Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury Report to a 49ers employee last October and then lying while under oath to the civil grand jury about the leak, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
Becker allegedly leaked the report days ahead of its planned Oct. 10 release, sending it to 49ers chief communications and public affairs officer Rahul Chandhok as well as a local media outlet. Along with the felony perjury charge, he has also been charged with a misdemeanor for violating his duty to keep the draft report confidential, prosecutors said.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
