Washington, D.C., councilman Trayon White is facing potential expulsion after an investigative report revealed multiple violations of city code of conduct provisions. Despite being arrested by the FBI on a federal bribery charge in August, White, a Democrat representing Ward 8, recently won a third term in a landslide victory on Election Day.
The report, conducted by the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP and commissioned by an ad hoc committee, was submitted to the council on Monday. The investigation aimed to determine whether White breached D.C. law, the D.C. Code of Conduct, or Council Rules. The council is scheduled to convene next Monday to review the findings and deliberate on potential sanctions against White.
