(Washington, DC) — A Washington, D.C. councilmember is facing federal bribery charges. The Justice Department announced Monday that Trayon White Sr. is under arrest. The criminal complaint alleges White accepted 156-thousand dollars in cash payments in exchange for pressuring government employees to extend several contracts with a company. This isn’t the first time White has made national headlines. In a since-deleted video in 2018, White claimed the Jewish business family the Rothschilds controlled the weather.
