Former OC Supervisor Andrew Do (R) Pleads Guilty to Bribery Scheme
Former Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme that enriched himself and his family anywhere from $550,000 to over $700,000 in federal COVID bailout money meant to feed the elderly.
“It’s true. I have great sorrow for my actions,” Do said in court at the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse on Thursday morning. “I’m responsible for every word.”
Do channeled over $10 million in federal COVID bailout dollars to a nonprofit run by his daughter that federal prosecutors allege didn’t do almost any of the work it was paid for, according to his signed plea agreement.
“By his acceptance of bribes … defendant acted corruptly,” read Laura Jean Berger, a prosecutor from the OC District Attorney’s office, in federal court on Thursday. “He abused his position of trust.”
