D.C. Council member arrested by FBI (Trayon White)
Washington Times ^ | 8/18/24 | Matt Delaney

Posted on 08/19/2024 2:40:46 AM PDT by Libloather

Federal authorities on Sunday arrested D.C. Council member Trayon White in the Navy Yard neighborhood.

Mr. White, Ward 8 Democrat, was taken into custody around 2 p.m. near the Yards Park in Southeast, according to the Washington City Paper.

The nature of the charges haven’t been revealed by either the FBI or the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Local NBC affiliate WRC-TV reported that the council member’s car was searched at the scene.

The City Paper reported that Mr. White, 40, will be held overnight and arraigned Monday.

The Washington Times reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson confirmed to local media that Mr. White was arrested.

“Both public trust and integrity in elected officials is critically important,” Mr. Mendelson said in a statement. “We’re trying to gather the facts at this time.“

**SNIP**

In 2018, Mr. White made controversial comments about European Jewish financiers controlling both the weather and the federal government. He has since apologized but has also been a supporter of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.

Mendelson reported that the arrest occurred at about 2 p.m., expressing surprise as he was previously unaware of any ongoing investigation into White. A Democrat representing Ward 8 since 2016, White faced scrutiny earlier this year when the D.C. Office of Campaign Finance imposed a $20,000 fine on him and his campaign treasurer.

In addition to the fine, White reportedly owed nearly $59,000 in public funds received through the D.C. Fair Elections Program. The program, designed to provide public financing for campaigns, requires rigorous auditing and reporting.

He must have stood in the way of or blocked or opposed in some way a corrupt donkey party priority or decision.

Like Menendez.

Like nYC Mayor Eric Adams.

Otherwise, being a member of the donkey member gives you a hall pass or get-out-of-jail-free pass for any kind or amount of bad, jailable misbehavior.

2pm? Why not a 2am no knock raid? Did they put tape over the door bell camera, and turn off their body cams?

“Both public trust and integrity in elected officials is critically important”

...which is why we must hide the corruption with all our might.

Has he got one of those synthetic braided ponytails? I didn’t think Dr.Farakhan allowed that.

Is this the genius who said the Rothschilds control the weather?

The Dist. of Corruption has the representation they deserve.

That’s his “crown”. The old ladies in the House of Reprobates passed a law making him a princess so he needs to be able to where a “crown.”

I lived around DC for 3.5 years (2010-2013). It was almost weekly that you’d hear of some new corruption story or fraud within the city council. After a while, I’d notice that it never got beyond DC residents...no one from the national news would talk about the crap going on.

Best story I was told....around 2009...some former grocery in the east-end had been taken over by the city (as their property). City Council was approached....youth were desperate for a baseball facility (not a park, just a building). So the city agreed to cheaply lease this former grocery out. But in the process, must have spent near $900k on paint and clean-up. Then one day....stripper-club opens up. Six months later....whole story falls into press...this group pressing for the youth-center...was really a front for a group who wanted the building as a bar and strip-club.

This is a parking ticket compared to the real corruption taking place.
