[dropcap size=big]L[/dropcap]os Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he is “not responsible 100 percent for the actions of everybody” in City Hall after revelations over the weekend that the FBI probe into City Councilman Jose Huizar is in fact a part of a much wider investigation of more than a dozen City Hall insiders, including current and former members of Garcetti’s administration.
“I am not responsible 100 percent for the actions of everybody in this building, the elected officials and stuff. But I do take my responsibility seriously,” the mayor said.
“I do expect every city employee to participate fully and cooperate fully with the FBI,” Garcetti said in response to a reporter’s question at City Hall on Monday.
“We will certainly get to the bottom of it inside this building. It is my expectation the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI should, and I have zero tolerance, absolute zero tolerance of any malfeasance or anything wrong that happened here.”
