Last year, CA State Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) was arrested and charged for multiple acts of corruption. The allegations against him ranged from public corruption to running guns, including offering to broker a major weapons sale between a gun dealer and an undercover agent claiming to be a member of the New Jersey mob in exchange for campaign donations.
But Yee was one of the state’s biggest gun ban proponents.
On Wednesday, over a year after the allegations, former senator Yee pleaded guilty in federal district court. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 21.
