Part 3/9:
Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Robbins presented the government's case, alleging that Thao, in concert with her partner Jones, offered favors to the Duongs in exchange for support during her campaign. Notably, the indictment claims Thao promised to take official actions as mayor that would financially benefit the Duongs, including agreements to purchase housing units from their company and guarantee the extension of a recycling services contract.
