The resolution, titled the "Expulsion of Councilmember Trayon White, Sr. Resolution of 2025," was adopted by the Council of the District of Columbia on February 4, 2025. It calls for the expulsion of Councilmember Trayon White, Sr. due to his involvement in bribery and violations of various ethical standards as outlined in the D.C. Official Code and the Council's Code of Official Conduct. The resolution follows an investigation by an ad hoc committee, which found substantial evidence that White accepted cash payments in exchange for using his official position to influence government contracts, thereby undermining public trust in the integrity of the District government.

The resolution details the timeline of events leading to White's expulsion, including his arrest by the FBI on bribery charges and the subsequent indictment. The committee's findings, based on a report from the law firm Latham and Watkins, concluded that White's actions constituted serious violations of ethical conduct and legal statutes. As a result of his expulsion, a vacancy has been created in the Ward 8 seat on the Council, and the resolution mandates that a copy be transmitted to both White and the District of Columbia Board of Elections. The resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption.
