On Saturday, he was in an event of “pride” that competed for the attention of a World Tsarina Pop.
A few days later, he received attention from a government guard dog.
Democrat Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser faces an ethics complaint filed by the Foundation for Civic Responsibility and Trust (Acts), a non -partisan guard dog, with the Government’s ethics and responsibility board,
The news comes a few days after Bowser joked with the attendees at a LGBT Festival in DC that the pop star Shakira should reconsider the cancellation of his tour in the area due to travel conflicts, as WTOP pointed out.
That moment of lightness in a great way to the alarm complaint on Tuesday morning.
The complaint claimed that Bowser received inappropriate benefits, including illegal acceptance trips and other hospitality gifts, turning a series of exits as mayor of DC.
Fox said Bowser apparently enjoyed “high profile trips to Doha, Qatar, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference of 2023, the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, and trips to Dubai, Las Vegas, Miami and Mar-A-Lago.”
The complaint of the fact highlights these problems, and more, such as the fact that the “district has no records” of these trips.
“Although the public and the press have sought information about these trips, including who paid for them and their purpose, the mayor’s office has provided false information or did not answer questions,” FACT said in his complaint. “Therefore, it is imperative that the Board act immediately.”

Fact continued: “A principle of fundamental ethics aimed at preventing corruption forbids our elected officials of acceptance bribes, donations, gifts, bribes or anything of value.
“When an exception is applied to the rule, there must generally be a complete public dissemination in a timely manner,” the complaint said.
“According to Washington DC’s law, government officials have the prohibition of acceptance certain gifts. Gifts are widely defined to include a ‘tip, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, tolerance, have monetary value.”
“Specifically, gifts include trips (meals, accommodation and transport), whether they are tested in the child, they are bought in advance or reimbursed after the expense occurred.”
The fact said that Qatar’s trip was a special problem. Bowser was asked about those expenses, and gave nothing, initially.
“However, incredibly, it was not the request of the Law of Freedom of Information of a reporter in March 2025 that the information was publicly revealed more specifically than Qatar paid more than $ 61,930 for the trip to Mayor des Axis and an axis and an ash and a Donation of Axempt,” said the fact.
But trips are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to discretionary problems of the Bowser team.
“It is not simply Qatar’s trip, but a worrying pattern of Mar-a-Lago to Doha to Augusta National-The District has no history of who paid these trips or what public purpose served, if one was one”, Kendra executive. “Ethics rules exist to protect against corruption, and when they are ignored, public confidence is eroded.
“I urge the Board to investigate and enforce the law without delay.”
