Mayor Bowser Investigated for Qatar Trip

Federal prosecutors in Washington D.C. are investigating Mayor Muriel Bowser for potential corruption related to a foreign trip paid for by Qatar. The investigation, led by the U.S. Attorneys office, began after a local TV station revealed partial funding by outside groups. The mayors office initially misled about the trips funding, leading to an ethics complaint. The case may involve bribery or campaign finance law violations. Mayor Bowser has not been formally notified, and critics suspect political motives due to the weakened Justice Departments public corruption unit. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
