Source: Feds getting closer to Mayor Gray

Published



Federal authorities investigating D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray’s 2010 campaign have obtained a document that could link Gray directly to the allegations of elections misdeeds made against him by a former mayoral candidate, a source with knowledge of the investigation told The Washington Examiner. The document, which the source said is being examined by authorities, list points that former candidate Sulaimon Brown should make in his verbal attacks against Gray’s primary opponent, then-Mayor Adrian Fenty. According to the source, Gray gave the document to Brown.

The document played into a five-month-old grand jury probe into Brown’s allegations that members of Gray’s mayoral campaign gave him cash-stuffed envelopes and money orders so he would stay in the race and keep up his verbal assault on Fenty.
