yeah! [patton] yes! two. it's not looking great for her. >> more controversy for oakland mayor shengtao. four days after fbi agents raided her home

tonight, the mayor and her attorney parting ways following an emotional press conference. >> first and foremost, confident that i will not be charged with a crime because i am innocent. >> i saw the press conference, and i realized that this was a very different approach than than, than mine. >> a defiant mayor shengtao, addressing the public for the first time since her home was raided by the fbi. good evening everyone. i'm mike mibach and i'm heather holmes mao. >> mayor tao did so without now her former attorney, tony brass. ktvu zac sos live now in oakland with all of the latest developments. >> yeah, and tony brass telling me earlier that he was caught off guard by this morning's news conference. a news conference mayor tao used to declare her innocence and rail against everyone from the media to the fbi and her critics. >> i have done nothing wrong. >> embattled oakland mayor shan tao, addressing the public for the first time since her home was raided by fbi agents last

week. >> i am confident that i will not be charged with a crime because i am innocent. >> the mayor, now preparing to defend herself with new legal counsel after parting ways with attorney and former federal prosecutor tony brass. >> i asked to withdraw from being her attorney today. it became clear to me when i saw the press conference that she and i had just different approaches about the case, both sides describing the split as cordial, but tao contending it was her decision to make the switch. >> the move comes as she's expected to meet with federal investigators this week. >> as of friday, i had no information that she was the target of the investigation and continuing through today. none of that changed. >> last week, the fbi also raiding several properties tied to the politically connected duong family, who owns a company managed oakland's recycling program. so far, no charges have

been filed in the investigation. >> i want to know what probable cause the fbi has, what evidence have they collected that justifies raiding the home of a sitting mayor at lake merritt? >> monday, oaklanders, with mixed views on the controversy now swirling around their mayor. shocked, honestly. >> i mean, this is the mayor of oakland, and so we assume that you're going to be operating in a way that's full of integrity. >> i know that there's some sort of investigation into somebody who made campaign contributions to her. so it sounds like it might be more that person than her. >> i am concerned about her as a mayor. i, i don't think that, you know, if there's something illegal going on, i definitely don't want that going on in the city government. >> dao meantime, lashing out at her critics and enemies. enemies, she says, are behind the looming mayoral recall. now on the ballot for november. >> i want to know more about the handful of billionaires from san francisco and from piedmont who are #### bent on running me out

of office. i'm not going down like that. we're not going down like that. >> and mayor tao again expected to meet with federal investigators sometime this week , her office telling me that she has already lined up new counsel to represent her in this ongoing investigation. heather >> all right. we will have to see what happens next there. all right. thanks so much, zach. appreciate it. earlier today, a four we spoke with uc law professor jonathan abel. he said that while most people who are the targets of warrants can remain silent, it is different for someone in such a high profile position. >> she's the mayor of a city. and so she also has to mount a political defense. and i think this is particularly hard because there's this there's now a recall, pending. and so she is going to have to convince voters to continue to trust her. and so the political side of it, she probably will have to do more,

to convince voters than she would if she were, if she were just a regular person, criminal defendants. and she has not been charged, but even if she were charged, never have to say anything. that's the bedrock of our system. you're innocent until proven guilty. but politicians, it's different. >> professor abel said it is possible that if agents didn't find anything incriminating or prosecutors decide not to file charges in this case, those warrants could remain sealed. and we may never know what the raid was targeting. >> now, all of this comes as oakland is facing challenges, including crime and a looming city budget deadline. last week, 15 people were shot at a juneteenth celebration at lake merritt. businesses large and small, have left the city due to crime. and tonight, the question many oakland residents have is can the mayor handle it all while facing legal trouble of her own? at a rally outside city hall, an organizer in the recall effort against the mayor said she should step down right now. >> this is all deflection that

the mayor she's trying to keep everybody from not focusing on that disaster budget that that the city council is about to vote on. >> oakland city council member janani ramachandran is not taking a stance on the mayor's situation. instead she says she is focused on the city's midcycle budget, which has to be passed this week. >> i am deeply concerned that we are nowhere near to figuring out what council member amendments are, what the different proposals are. >> mayor tao supporters say they are confident that she can carry out her duties as leader of the city. city administrator justin johnson telling us off camera that he is optimistic that oakland can weather the storm. >> well, another big challenge for oakland businesses leaving the city today, the hilton near the oakland airport announced that it will be shutting down after more than 50 years in business. ktvu betty yu joins us now live in betty. this announcement follows the recent promise from city leaders to improve that crime challenge

area. >> heather. just three months ago, mayor xiang tao said security had been ramped up in the area around the oakland airport. tonight, we learned the hilton will shut its doors in august this year. the hilton didn't explain why it's permanently closing the oakland airport location after more than 50 years in business. people traveling through the city, including san diego resident johari jones, say they've noticed a change. >> a lot of the businesses closing just the atmosphere in general is it's i hate to say it, but it's dirty. crime is everywhere. but, you know, that's all you hear about is the crime in the area. so it deters a lot of people from coming out here. >> allison wall travels from reno to oakland at least once a month. >> it makes me sad. just this is my go to place to stay. it's very convenient. it's right across the street from the airport. but frankly, i'm not super surprised i stopped gassing at my cars before i return my rental cars in this

area probably two years ago, wall said. >> the front desk workers at the hotel advised her to gas up. elsewhere, a spokesperson said in a statement to ktvu. in part, hilton continues to welcome guests across the bay area, where hilton and our franchise partners operate. nearly 50 hotels, and we are working to support our dedicated team members with assistance exploring potential transfer opportunities. i feel bad for oakland. >> i mean, i know from my in-laws and older relatives that it used to be a great place back in march, mayor sheng tao acknowledged the trouble hegenberger corridor, which has seen in and out and denny's leave this year due to high crime. >> she said the city was seeing promising results due to more law enforcement and community collaboration in the area. >> we are seeing that crimes, whether it's burglaries, property crimes, homicides, all in this corridor, that they are trending down. >> i feel like you should always be alert and aware of things that are happening around you,

but i would say more so in oakland. >> you feel safer. >> in san diego, it sounds like absolutely. the port of oakland said it will now have to decide the best use of that property and work with the city to help employees affected by this closure. heather betty, the woman that you mentioned that stays there at the hilton often did she say where the next closest hotel for her would be? well, she said she is still loyal to the hilton brand, so she'll likely stay at the hilton in hayward after it closes. >> okay. all right. our betty yu thank you. one of the bay area's most powerful political groups has endorsed two candidates now for san francisco mayor today, neighbors for a better san francisco advocacy for a better san francisco advocacy sent an email to its supporters saying it would recommend voting for either mark farrell or daniel lurie. it believes incumbent london breed has, quote, not demonstrated an ability to govern with the degree of persistence and consistency, and says that supervisor aaron peskin would hurt the city.

there was no mention of supervisor by the group, which is based in san rafael, has spent large amounts of money on recent elections and helped lead the recall of three san francisco school board members back in 2022. >> new at ten. the state assembly approved legislation allowing restaurant surcharges to remain legal in california. under the bill, restaurants would be exempt from a new law set to take effect on july 1st, banning so-called hidden junk fees. now, in exchange, restaurants may continue to add fees and automatic service charges as long as they are displayed on restaurant menus. the bill now heads to the state senate. state senator bill dodd of napa authored the bill, and he said in a statement, this measure achieves the goal of providing consumers with upfront price transparency without inadvertently harming food service workers or small businesses. it ensures restaurant customers are not shocked when they get their checks. >> while the tug of war continues in sacramento over a

package of public safety bills, those bills are part of an effort to reform prop 47, which loosened drug and theft penalties about a decade ago. they are backed by law enforcement, business groups and elected officials from both parties. but the democratic leadership recently added so-called poison pill amendments to some of them that would revoke the measures if voters approve a prop 47 reform bill in november. the leadership did not bring the bills up for a vote today, and that angered some republicans. >> democrats can't make up their minds what they want to do, you know, and what they're doing is they're trying to undermine these efforts. they're trying to undermine the initiative. i got an idea. just let the people vote. >> the secretary of state has until thursday to finalize initiatives on the ballot. democratic leaders have until then to try to sway the prop 47 reform campaign to remove its measure from the ballot. >> governor newsom will release his state of the state address tomorrow. the governor's office
