The decision comes after an LAist investigation exposed millions in unaccounted-for coronavirus relief funds Do quietly routed to a newly-created nonprofit connected to his daughter, and a federal law enforcement probe of the issue.

Authorities say Peter Pham — who founded Viet America Society and hired former Supervisor Andrew Do's daughter — "is considered to be a fugitive from justice."

There are at least two inquiries underway into thousands of contracts handled by Andrew Do over the years related to his time on two powerful Orange County boards.

A court-overseen review found that the city could not substantiate the number of beds the city was taking credit for to show it was complying with the agreements.

The city agreed to pay for the beds in an agreement overseen by a federal judge, but withheld spending summaries from court auditors.

LAHSA officials had refused to disclose the documents, but reversed themselves after weeks of questions by LAist and criticism from attorneys who said the agency was violating public records laws.

Do is scheduled to be sentenced in June to up to five years in federal prison. County supervisors voted 4-1 to call for a tougher sentence.

Here’s a look at ways the documents could come to light.

The government agency known as LAHSA settled wrongful termination claims with two former executives of the agency last month and is alleging the public cannot see the records. “That is something the public absolutely has the right to know,” said public records attorney David Loy.

Some on the board contend that the disgraced supervisor's deal equates to “special treatment” compared with other major corruption cases and doesn’t reflect “the severity and extent" of Do’s behavior.

Va Lecia Adams Kellum’s departure from LAHSA comes after L.A. County leaders voted to pull hundreds of millions of dollars from the agency’s budget.

Supervisors Janet Nguyen and Doug Chaffee argue the disgraced official's plea deal 'stands in stark contrast to harsher penalties imposed on others.'
