A Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County DA George Gascón’s office has filed a claim alleging that Gascón retaliated against him after he objected to Gascón dropping criminal charges against the CEO of a China-linked election software company for political reasons. In his claim, DDA Eric Neff states that criminal charges against Konnech CEO Eugene Yu were illegally dropped once Gascón realized that the prosecution could help Donald Trump politically and that it would validate the election security concerns of many on the right. Neff’s claim contains disturbing new information about the investigation and its findings that show the charges never should have been dropped.
