The inside story of the leak that exploded the City Council

(Los Angeles, CA) — New details are coming to light on the controversy surrounding leaked audio from members of the Los Angeles City Council. The LA Times reports it’s not known exactly who made the recording of a conversation last year which included Councilmembers Nury Martinez, Gil Cedillo and Kevin de Leon. However, it was noted that the recording was actually posted on Reddit last month. The post was eventually removed by the social site after a moderator said it contained “unsourced claims.” However, earlier this month, it was shared on Twitter and that’s when it got attention. Martinez resigned Wednesday after the recording revealed her making racist remarks.
