Antioch Mayor Faces DOJ Indictment | San Jose News
Description
Former Antioch Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe stunned listeners by announcing the DOJ is seeking his indictment—claiming it’s a politically charged move by the “Trump Justice Department” while insisting he’s cooperated fully. His turbulent mayoral run, marked by sexual harassment allegations, a DUI, and a public assault, now collides with a wave of federal probes sweeping East Bay politicians—including Oakland’s Sheng Thao and DeNova Homes’ owners. As FBI raids target campaign staff and tax assessors, Hernandez-Thorpe vows to face justice with Navy grit and fatherly resolve, echoing Governor Newsom’s past accusations of political witch hunts—and refusing to be defined by rumors or headlines.
