    accused of using his city purchasing card for more than $4,000 in personal expenses, including restaurant meals, clothing, haircuts and a movie, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

    He reportedly spent $2,600 on gas and used a city vehicle for personal purposes.

    According to Williams’ testimony, he did not intend to use city funds and later repaid the money, Fox 5 reported.

    He further claimed the city-issued card looked similar to his personal card and said he later replaced the cards to avoid future confusion, the outlet reported.

    NYPost is a right wing propaganda rag and are only relishing this because he’s black. Yes let’s go after corrupt politicians but 4k is peanuts compared to what the old white men are getting away with right fucking now.

    Sounds like insiders in the government were constantly looking for any minor excuse to impeach him.

    That said, if he really is guilty of anything then it should be addressed.

    But this is so minor. How about we go after the politicians stealing millions and billions of dollars?

    While I’m all for making an example out of corrupt politicians, this guy got targeted for $4k, while a pedophile is grifting billions. He’s not straight, rich and White, so it makes sense.

    The law only applies to those who aren’t of the privileged capital class.
