DISTURBING information about Councilmember Trayon White Sr.’s past has surfaced after the politician was arrested on federal bribery charges.
White, 40, was arrested Sunday on allegations that he began accepting cash payment bribes starting in June 2024.
The Department of Justice claims White accepted $156,000 in exchange for influencing his decisions as a councilmember.
The complaint alleges that White used his position to pressure employees at the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement and the DC Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services to extend several local work contracts, as reported by NBC News.
Those contracts were reportedly valued at around $5.2. million and White allegedly took three percent of the contracts’ value.
The payments for the bribe were allegedly paid to White over four separate times on June 26, July 17, July 25, and August 9, each allegedly $35,000 each.
But it appears that this is not the first time White has gone out of bounds.
The DC local was publically skewered in 2018 when he shared a video on Facebook where he talked about a conspiracy theory involving Jewish financiers, according to The Washington Post.
“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,” he said.
He shared a video of the late winter snow flurries that year while driving through town and narrating his thoughts for viewers.
“And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”
Descended from an 18th-century Jewish banker who lived in Germany, the Rothschilds are a well-known business dynasty that has repeatedly been the subject of antisemitic conspiracy theories.
And a year earlier, the District lawmaker received criticism for bailing Commissioner Kendall Simmons out of jail — who was put behind bars for resisting arrest and allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, according to the Washington City Paper.
“I have always supported this young man, but I don’t condone abuse by anyone,” White told local reporters after the story broke.
“I spoke to the girlfriend, and the news story and her story don’t match. I don’t disown anyone, because at the end of the day he is still God’s child. He is entitle[d] to his day in court.”
