Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas was suspended from office Wednesday amid a federal indictment on corruption charges.
The City Council voted 11-3 to suspend him.
The 20-count indictment accuses Ridley-Thomas, 66, of "supporting county contracts and lucrative contract amendments with the university" in exchange for benefits for a relative in 2017 and 2018, the Justice Department said.
