Washington DC, a city council member Treyoung White, is facing a potential exile from the city leader in a continuous corruption trial on charges of bribery.
The FBI arrested White in August 2024 and claimed that it had exceeded $ 150,000 with the BRI to affect the city's contract. The trial has not yet begun, but the FBI has revealed evidence of an envelope that accepts white people in cash from the bureau of information providers. The city council will vote for the expulsion of white in the second half of Tuesday.
“This is a typical corruption,” said Phil Mendelson chairman of the Council in December. “There is only one relief measure. Removing corruption from our body. This case has undergone the public trust necessary for the government to work well.”
Despite his accusation and evidence of him, White was re -elected to the city council just three months after his arrest in November. His federal trial will begin in January 2026. He acknowledged acquittal.
DC councilors take a step in the face of expulsion after discovering that the law firms have violated the Code of Conduct.
