Orange County supervisor resigns, will plead guilty to corruption charge [View all]
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/orange-county-supervisor-resigns-will-plead-guilty-to-corruption-charge/Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do, 1st District, has resigned and agreed to plead guilty to federal corruption charges.
Do funneled COVID-19 relief money into the Viet America Society, a nonprofit for which his daughter, Rhiannon Do, served as an executive.
Investigations by LAist and other outlets discovered that VAS received millions through the county, and Rhiannon Do, 23, purchased a million-dollar home.
Do’s brief resignation letter did not include any details about the scandal, only explaining that the resignation takes effect immediately.
Do’s now-former colleagues lambasted him in individual statements.
