About this episode
In a court appearance yesterday, federal prosecutors accused Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White of accepting $156,000 in bribes related to the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services, which he oversees. White has had other run-ins with financial law enforcement this summer, and he’s up for reelection this November. The Washington Post’s Emily Davies lays out what we know about the charges and evidence so far.
