State Sen. Leland Yee was arrested on public corruption charges Wednesday after authorities said he solicited money from undercover FBI agents for his current campaign to be secretary of state, promising to use his role in Sacramento to help the federal moles in return for the cash.
Yee, a Democrat who represents half of San Francisco and most of San Mateo County and made gun control a signature issue, participated in multiple explicit discussions with an undercover agents about facilitating a gun-trafficking deal in exchange for campaign donations, the FBI said.
Yee was one of 26 people charged after a five-year racketeering, gun running, narcotics and money-laundering investigation that also targeted Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, a notorious former San Francisco gangster, officials said, and Keith Jackson, a 49-year-old former San Francisco school board member.
