Mayor Bass facing blowback over explosive report that she altered wildfire report to downplay city's role

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is under fire this week after a Los Angeles Times report claiming she successfully altered in her favor a critical after-action report on the devastating southern California wildfires that killed 31 people. 

While Bass has repeatedly denied that she interfered with the report, the Los Angeles Times reports, citing two sources, that Bass was concerned about the city could be exposed to legal liabilities for its lack of preparedness and removed or softened language implicating the city.
