D.C. Councilmember Trayon White Arrested by FBI

Trayon White Sr., a Democrat council member from Washington D.C., was arrested by the FBI on Sunday, with the circumstances and charges remaining unclear. White, known for controversial remarks claiming that Jewish bankers manipulate the weather to gain control of cities, was expected to secure a third term this November. His arrest surprised colleagues and came after he faced scrutiny over campaign finance issues, including a $40,000 fine earlier this year related to unaccounted campaign funds. The FBI declined to comment, and further details are anticipated during his court appearance. White's previous comments, made in a 2018 video, have drawn significant backlash and accusations of antisemitism. The council's chairman confirmed the arrest but stated he was seeking more information about the situation.
