UPDATE YOU JUST AS SOON AS WE HEAR. >> NOW TO THE SEARCH SENDING SHOCKWAVES THROUGH OAKLAND'S POLITICAL WORLD. GOOD AFTERNOON. >> I'M KRISTEN SZE AND I'M DAN ASHLEY. THANKS FOR JOINING US. AN FBI RAID AT THE MAYOR'S HOUSE AND NOW AN ATTORNEY FOR MAYOR SHENGTAO IS SHARING HER SIDE. TODAY. THE FBI IS QUIET. NO NEW DETAILS ON THE INVESTIGATION FROM THEM. MAYOR SHENGTAO HAS NOT BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC SINCE AGENTS RAIDED HER HOME YESTERDAY DAY. BUT HER ATTORNEYS TALKING NOW AND SHARING HER SIDE. >> WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE TODAY TRACKING THE FALLOUT FROM THE RAID. ABC SEVEN NEWS REPORTER ANSER HASSAN LEADS US OFF FROM OAKLAND. ANSWER >> KRISTEN AND DAN, GOOD AFTERNOON, OAKLAND MAYOR SHENGTAO WAS NOT SCHEDULED TO BE AT CITY HALL TODAY, EVEN PRIOR TO THURSDAY'S RAID. SHE NOW HAS HIRED A LAWYER. HE'S A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR. HE SAYS SHE IS FULLY COOPERATING IN THE INVESTIGATION. THE WAY HE EXPLAINS TO US AS OF NOW, OAKLAND MAYOR SHENGTAO IS NOT THE TARGET OF THIS INVESTIGATION . IT'S REALLY UNFORTUNATE THAT A SEARCH WARRANT WAS EXECUTED AT HER RESIDENCE BECAUSE THE PUBLIC APPEARANCE OF THAT BRINGS UP IMAGES OF CORRUPTION. AND I CAN TELL YOU, I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND I HAVE NO INFORMATION THAT SHE'S A TARGET RIGHT NOW. TONY BRASS, A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR AND CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY, IS NOW THE LAWYER REPRESENTING OAKLAND MAYOR SHENGTAO IN A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. EARLY THURSDAY MORNING, MORE THAN A DOZEN FBI AGENTS RAIDED MAYOR TAO'S HOME IN OAKLAND. FOUR HOURS LATER, THEY HAULED OFF BOXES AND BAGS OF EVIDENCE, BRASS POINTS OUT. THE WARRANTS WERE FOR THE ADDRESS WHERE TAO LI'S NOT FOR MAYOR TAO SPECIFICALLY, IT SUGGESTS THAT THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WANTED, WHETHER THAT INFORMATION ITSELF SUGGESTS CRIMINALITY OR IS SIMPLY SOMETHING THAT CORROBORATE OTHER INFORMATION, WAS LOCATED THERE OR ON A DEVICE . THE FEDS ALSO TARGETED TWO HOMES RELATED TO THE DUONG FAMILY. THEY OWN CALIFORNIA WASTE SOLUTIONS, A GARBAGE RECYCLING COMPANY THAT OPERATES IN THE EAST BAY AND SOUTH BAY. DUGONGS ARE ALSO HUGE POLITICAL DONORS, BUT THE FACT THAT IT'S OUR MAYOR, IT'S SOMEONE WHO'S IN LEADERSHIP THAT WHO, YOU KNOW, OUSTED THE POLICE CHIEF. NINA JOYNER IS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN OAKLAND. SHE SAYS TAO IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, BUT HER CONCERN IS HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION, ESPECIALLY AS MAYOR TAO IS FACING A RECALL. IN NOVEMBER, JOYNER IS PART OF A GROWING CHORUS OF PEOPLE ASKING THE MAYOR TO RESIGN. SHE BELIEVES MAYOR TAO'S PERSONAL ISSUES ARE DISTRACTIONS THAT HURT OAKLAND'S REPUTATION TO ATTRACT TALENT AND INVESTMENTS. >> WE JUST HAD A SHOOTING AND WE JUST GOT A WE JUST GOT A CHIEF OF POLICE, AND FOR THIS EVENT TO HAPPEN, WE CAN'T EVEN HAVE OUR MAYOR COME OUT. WE COULDN'T HAVE HER COME OUT AND TALK ABOUT IT. THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS UNHEARD OF. >> NOW, BRASS WANTS TO EMPHASIZE THAT MAYOR TAO WAS NOT ARRESTED, AND THAT THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON HER ABILITY TO PERFORM HER DUTIES AS MAYOR. LEGAL EXPERTS TELL US THIS INVESTIGATION COULD DRAG ON MONTHS,
