Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu has resigned. The announcement comes just days after it was revealed that Sidhu is one of the subjects of an FBI corruption probe.
Last week, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra asked an Orange County judge to put a hold on a deal to sell Angel Stadium, citing federal documents alleging that Sidhu was trying to leverage the deal to secure campaign contributions from the Angels.
The city of Anaheim had planned to sell the stadium to Los Angeles Angels team own Arte Moreno's company and would use money from the sale to fund affordable housing throughout the city. Sidhu is accused in an FBI affidavit of providing members of the Angels organization with insider information about the sale during negotiations, with the hopes of in turn securing funds for his re-election campaign.
