SAN MATEO, Calif. (KGO) -- The ABC7 News I-Team has learned that the San Mateo Board of Supervisors has scheduled a hearing for Thursday to begin the removal process for Sheriff Christina Corpus.
As you may remember, voters gave the board the power to fire the sheriff when Measure A passed in a special election.

The new report commissioned by the board and performed by the law firm of Keker, Van Nest and Peters will also accuse Sheriff Corpus of an intimate relationship with her chief of staff at the time, Victor Aenlle.
Under the rules adopted by the supervisors, the sheriff will have the opportunity to present a defense and question her accusers.
On a second front, the county is also pursuing a case through a civil grand jury to remove Sheriff Corpus.
