White, 40, was arrested by the FBI last August on charges of taking tens of thousands of dollars in bribes to influence city contract decisions. His federal trial won’t start until January 2026, but preliminary evidence shows White pocketing cash-stuffed envelopes from a city contractor-turned-informer.

White took the oath of office two weeks after his colleagues voted unanimously to initiate the expulsion process. This decision followed an independent ad hoc committee investigation that found White violated public trust and D.C. ethics.
