You might be surprised to learn that the FBI recently searched the home of Brian Williams, the deputy mayor for public safety in Los Angeles. This isn't just any deputy mayor, though. Williams has been working on crucial issues like police hiring and spending for almost two years. But what's the big deal? Well, it turns out that Williams is allegedly behind a bomb threat against City Hall earlier this year.

The LAPD is pretty sure Williams is the one who made the threat. But because he works closely with the police, they passed the case on to the FBI. So, the FBI went to Williams' home on Tuesday to find out more. The mayor's office says Williams has been put on leave while the investigation continues.

Williams has a long history in government, having worked in various roles for over three decades. Before becoming a deputy mayor again, he was the executive director of the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission for seven years.

It's important to note that just because someone is accused of something doesn't mean they are guilty. The FBI is just doing its job by investigating the threat. Let's see what they find out.

Meanwhile, think about this: What kind of person would make a bomb threat? And why would they do something like that? These are questions we should all think about when hearing about incidents like these.
