The Council of the District of Columbia voted on Tuesday to conduct an investigation into Councilman Trayon White related to his federal bribery charges and other possible violations of council rules.
This was the first council meeting since White was arrested by FBI agents outside of a luxury high-rise in the Navy Yard neighborhood last month.

White has pleaded not guilty on federal charges.
