Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do is expected to plead guilty to felony federal corruption charges in connection with accepting bribes in exchange for votes involving COVID-19 relief funds, federal authorities announced on Oct. 22.

Federal and county law enforcement agencies allege that Do, 62, took at least $550,000 in bribes since 2020, for funneling more than $10 million in COVID-19 funds to a charity that employed one of his daughters, Rhiannon Do.
