Ethics Complaint Rocks DC’s Radical Mayor
On Saturday, she was at a “pride” event vying for the attention of a worldwide pop czarina.
A few days later, she got some unwanted attention from a government watchdog, instead.
Democratic Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser is facing down an ethics complaint filed by the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a nonpartisan watchdog, with the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability, accordingto Fox News.
The news comes just days after Bowser was joking around with attendees of an LGBT festival in D.C. that pop star Shakira should re-consider cancelling her tour in the area due to traveling conflicts, as noted by WTOP.
==That moment of levity gave way to Tuesday morning’s alarming complain
The complaint alleged thatBowser received improper benefits, including accepting illegal trips and other hospitality gifts, during a number of outings as D.C. mayor.
Fox noted that Bowserapparently enjoyed “high-profile trips to Doha, Qatar, for the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, and trips to Dubai, Las Vegas, Miami and Mar-a-Lago.”
The complaint from FACT highlights those issues, and more, such as thefact that the “district has no records” of these trips.

What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?
