Expulsion of Councilmember Trayon White, Sr. Resolution of 2024

This proposed resolution seeks to expel Councilmember Trayon White, Sr. from the District of Columbia Council based on a recommendation from an ad hoc committee investigating allegations of bribery and ethical violations. The bill relies on a report by outside counsel which found that White accepted a $15,000 cash payment and agreed to a kickback arrangement in exchange for using his official position to help secure business for the payer. By adopting the committee's findings, the resolution would formally remove White from his seat for violating specific D.C. laws and council rules regarding conflicts of interest and maintaining public confidence in government integrity. The measure does not determine guilt in a criminal court, as White has pleaded not guilty to federal bribery charges, but instead addresses the immediate conduct of a sitting council member.
