D.C. Council members grilled the city’s chief financial officer for hours Thursday regarding his role in the controversial legalization of Internet gambling in the city, accusing Natwar Gandhi of sneaking legislation by the council.

The hot questioning came even after a city inspector general’s report this week cleared CFO Gandhi and others of any illegal moves in the creation of a new lottery contract deal that paved the way for online gambling in the District.
