After watching the CCTV, they saw him performing sexual acts on himself. An employee approached him, asked him what he was doing and told them what they saw, and he became defensive and denied it. He said he would “just leave” but asked if he could finish his game first, court documents say.

Maroney, 56, was alone in the lottery room when the employees spotted him on surveillance footage, Canestraro explained. The state senator was arraigned and released on a $3,000 personal recognizance bond Tuesday night, 7News reported. West Virginia Senate President Craig Blair announced Wednesday that he was stripping Maroney of his role as Health and Human Resources Committee chair and all other committee positions to “give him appropriate time to dedicate to his personal issues.” Blair said he was “deeply concerned” for Maroney, whom he described as a friend. “The facts that have emerged are troubling, and I am disappointed,” Blair’s statement read.

The FBI on Sunday arrested D.C. Council member Trayon White, officials confirmed. The circumstances surrounding White’s arrest are not yet known. D.C.

BREAKING: DC Councilmember Trayon White (D) was just arrested by the FBI. Unclear what the allegations are. He will face charges tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/OyHvi7FhMO — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) August 18, 2024 NBC Washington reports: News4 video shows agents outside his apartment in Southeast D.C. Agents appeared to try to access White’s car, a silver Tesla with D.C. Council license plates. “To be honest, this is actually not the first time the FBI has been to our building,” said Seun Sanusi, who lives in the apartment complex. “So the FBI being here is not surprising.” White is expected in Federal Court for his first appearance on the charges. “I’m assuming it’s a big deal,” Sanusi said. “So hopefully whatever happened, it isn’t too bad.” White remained in custody as of Sunday evening. He was first elected to represent Ward 8 in 2016. In June, he won the Democratic primary for what would be his third term. #TrayonWhite arrest/2 White was taken into custody in the Yards Park SE area about 2 pm Sunday.

I can confirm he was arrested around 2 o’clock by the FBI,” Mendelson told a WTTG reporter. “I’m anxious to get more details to understand what is the situation. … You all know as much as I know.” Fox News has reached out to the FBI Washington field office, which declined to comment at this time. White made national headlines in March 2018 when he suggested that Jewish financiers control the weather. The claim came as he filmed himself driving through downtown Washington in the snow and ranted about “climate manipulation.” “And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We’re a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man,” he said in the now-deleted video. “Be careful.” WATCH: BREAKING: Trayon White, the Democratic Councilman who claimed the Jewish Rothschild family controlled the weather has been arrested by the FBI. There are no reports of his alleged charges. pic.twitter.com/alff63LNZQ — Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) August 18, 2024 WATCH:

Joe Biden Admits to Secretly Flying 320,000 Illegals into the United States By Jordan Conradson – March 7, 2024 Trump ICE Director Tom Homan will testify in a House Judiciary Committee hearing alongside Center for Immigration Studies’s Art Arthur and America First Legal Executive Director Gene Hamilton to examine Joe Biden’s handling of the illegal immigration crisis. The hearing “will examine how the Biden Administration has systematically dismantled effective border security measures and has stymied aggressive enforcement of the immigration laws in the interior of the United States” and “how President Biden can mitigate the border crisis by using mechanisms that currently exist within immigration law,” according to the Judiciary Committee’s webpage. This hearing comes after the horrific murder of Georgia college student Laken Riley by an illegal alien suspect named Jose Ibarra. Countless Americans have been raped and murdered by the illegals that Biden rolled out the red carpet for. READ MORE…   DONATE to A.F.
