Newly released court exhibits in the corruption trial of former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and three co-defendants reveal the early stages of the alleged pay-to-play scheme. The exhibits, which also included a video from an August 2023 trade mission flight funded by California Waste Solutions founder David Duong, reveal alleged violence, money conflict and potential implications for the case. The FBI's lead investigator, Elizabeth Davis, spent a third day on the witness stand under cross-examination from defense teams questioning her handling of financial and phone records gathered during the investigation. Legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Wilson Leung suggested that the video could carry significant implications beyond the details of the evidence. The case is expected to shift focus later this week when Mario Juarez is scheduled to testify.
