in the sexual harassment case and he is “to appear at a deposition on August

“The deposition will take place at the San Diego city attorney’s office and will include city attorneys and private attorney Gloria Allred, who represents former Filner communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson.”
Mayor Bob Filner said in his press conference that he would
enter “intensive therapy” for two weeks beginning on August 5. City Attorney
Jan Goldsmith said if Mayor Bob Filner is not deposed before August 9, he could
be held in contempt of court and put in jail.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the behavior of San Diego's Mayor Bob Filner and New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, an ex-congressman embroiled in a sexting scandal, is "reprehensible."
On Friday, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman, called on Filner to resign "for the good of the city."
While Bob Filner does not appear to understand that the lawsuit's
claims are valid and has vowed to "vigorously" defend himself against
the charges, his former colleagues in Washington are speaking out.
