Washington, D.C. Councilman Trayon White is facing expulsion after an investigative report found he violated multiple city code of conduct provisions. Despite being arrested on a federal bribery charge in August, White won a landslide victory in his recent re-election bid.

The report, commissioned by an ad hoc committee and conducted by the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP, was submitted to the council on Monday. The council is set to deliberate the findings and consider whether to recommend sanctions against White on November 27.

The report found “substantial evidence” that White’s alleged conduct connected to the bribery claims violated several provisions of the D.C. Council’s Code of Official Conduct. However, it did not support allegations that White violated residency requirements.

White has pleaded not guilty to allegations that he accepted $156,000 in cash payments in exchange for using his position to pressure government employees to extend D.C. contracts. The federal complaint says the contracts were valued at $5.2 million and were for two companies to provide “Violence Intervention” services in D.C.

White has declined multiple offers to meet with the committee investigating the allegations. The law firm’s report was based on 11 weeks of investigation, including 22 interviews with officials and reviews of relevant documents and emails.

The council is set to consider the report and potential sanctions against White in the coming weeks.
