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.

BFD ... if they can’t take down a DC mayor, then forget about taking down just a lousy council member ...

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

He has since apologized but has also been a supporter of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.

Good credentials? Headshake.

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

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

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

The Dist. of Corruption has the representation they deserve.

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.
