Trayon White Sr. , a Democrat who ran an unsuccessful mayoral campaign in 2022 , was arrested on a federal bribery charge by the FBI on Sunday .

An FBI agent's affidavit says White agreed in June to accept roughly $156,000 in kickbacks and cash payments in exchange for pressuring government agency employees to extend two companies' contracts for violence intervention services.

In March 2018 , White posted a video on his Facebook page claiming that an unexpected snowfall was because of “the Rothschilds controlling the climate”.
