"The timing of the sheriff's action and information provided by Assistant Sheriff Monaghan suggest possible retaliation against Assistant Sheriff Monaghan for participating in Judge Cordell's independent investigation," stated Supervisor Mueller, raising concerns over the integrity of the probe and potential misconduct within the sheriff's office.
Sheriff Christina Corpus refuted the allegations of retaliation, asserting that Supervisor Mueller's comments were 'completely out of line and pure speculation,' and emphasized the need for facts before making such serious claims.
Mueller indicated that Cordell has been tasked with investigating whether Monaghan suffered retaliation, underscoring the board's commitment to ensuring the integrity of the ongoing investigation and safeguarding other potential witnesses.
According to Mueller, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors is prepared to take all necessary legal actions to preserve the independent investigation's integrity and protect those involved in the inquiry.
