Description

Criminal charges will not be filed against Seattle leaders who deleted text messages off their work phones as Black Lives Matter protests were taking place in 2020, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (KCPAO). In 2022, the prosecuting attorney’s office requested an investigation of possible destruction of public records after a whistleblower complaint and the discovery of texts missing from the phones of former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, former Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best and current Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins.
