“Sheriff Bianco’s investigation is unprecedented in both scope and scale and appears not to be based on facts or evidence but on unfounded allegations that have already been refuted by the Riverside Registrar of Voters,” Bonta said in the statement.

“During this time, the sheriff has delayed, stonewalled, and otherwise refused to work with us in good faith. To date, the sheriff has failed to provide most of the requested documentation.”

Bonta added: “What we have been able to learn raises serious questions about the merits of this investigation. We are especially concerned with legal deficiencies in the affidavits underlying the warrants, including the omission of material facts.”................
