The D.C. Council voted unanimously to expel councilmember Trayon White following allegations of accepting $156,000 in bribes from federal authorities. The decision was made after a challenging vote that Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie described as necessary for maintaining trust in the government.
White, who represents Ward 8, was seen leaving the meeting room without addressing reporters after the expulsion vote. Despite his removal, White remains eligible to run in a special election for his vacant seat.
