House is set to vote next week on a disapproval resolution that would block DC from divorcing its local tax code from Trump’s federal tax cuts—a move DC Council took last year to free up $600M in revenue & fund a local child tax credit. Background: https://t.co/ZZx2NWHB0a

@tomroussey7news What have you or your colleagues turned up to determine which information is the most reliable?

EXCLUSIVE: The nation of Qatar paid $61,930 in travel expenses for @MayorBowser & 4 staff members in 2023 for a trip to the Middle East.

The Mayor's Office said the trip was covered by DC's Chamber of Commerce which wasn't true and then it said it was paid by the U.S. Conference of Mayors which was also not true.

After my investigation exposed the truth Bowser is now asking Qatar to give her office reciepts for the trip because she never filed them with the District.

I also discovered her office is asking Qatar to sign a Donation Agreement two years after the trip.

Something that according to the Mayor's memorandeum was suppose to be done before she ever left for the trip.

DC Code says there are penalties if something like this happens in the district so 7 News wants to know why can the mayor try and put the toothpaste back in the bottle and not be held accountable?

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.

You have a right to see this file.
