The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the mayor of Washington!
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the overseas travel of Muriel Bowser, the Democratic mayor of Washington, and the department believes that Qatar funded Bowser's travels.
According to the Department of Justice, the investigation has been ongoing for several months, involving potential violations of campaign finance laws and anti-corruption laws. For this accusation, it is necessary to determine whether the mayor ever acted on behalf of Qatar's interests, and there is currently no conclusive evidence.
The mayor's office stated: "This was a business trip, which Washington officials often do to promote Washington as a destination for investment and growth."
In 2023, Bowser and four of her colleagues traveled to Dubai to attend the United Nations Climate Conference, and she said the trip was paid for by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Later, it was discovered that the organization only partially funded the visit to the UAE. According to The New York Times, the cost of Bowser's trip to Doha exceeded $61,000.
This summer, Bowser's relationship with the President of the United States deteriorated due to the White House's decision to transfer National Guard soldiers to the capital.
