US EditionBowser Hit with Ethics Complaint over Travel Paid for by Qatar
- On Tuesday, a watchdog organization submitted a complaint alleging that Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser unlawfully accepted costly trips paid for by Qatar and other parties.
- The complaint emerged after Bowser’s office provided inconsistent explanations, initially claiming the Qatar trip was funded by the D.C. Chamber of Commerce and later attributing payment to the U.S. Conference of Mayors—both entities denied covering the expenses.
- The trips encompassed visits to the 2023 global climate summit held in Dubai, as well as other destinations such as Augusta, Mar-a-Lago, and Doha, with no official documentation disclosing who financed them or their stated public objectives.
- Qatar covered expenses totaling $61,930 for a 2023 journey taken by Bowser and four staff members, which Doha later referred to as an “in-kind donation.” However, the complaint highlights that the trip lacks the necessary donation agreement and proper legal classification under DC regulations.
- The complaint urges an immediate ethics investigation, citing Bowser’s failure to provide basic information on her travels as eroding public trust and violating D.C.’s strict gift acceptance rules.
