Former DC councilmember wins back seat months after being expelled over bribery charge
Fox News
Trayon White, unanimously removed from D.C. Council in February after a bribery charge, has won the special election for his former seat despite his pending federal case.
Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
In August 2024, the FBI arrested White after he was accused by federal authorities of agreeing to accept $156,000 in bribes. His trial is scheduled to begin in January 2026. White denies any wrongdoing and is pleading not guilty in the federal case, despite apparent video of him pocketing allegedly cash-stuffed envelopes.
