NYC Council Member and Hochul Aide Rally Amid Bribery Probe

NYC Council member Farah Louis and her sister Debbie Louis, an aide to Governor Kathy Hochul, held a rally to condemn the federal bribery investigation against them.
The investigation examines whether they accepted bribes to direct city funds to a nonprofit that has received nearly $200 million in contracts.
Supporters, including local clergy, defended the sisters' integrity and labeled the investigation as baseless, while Debbie Louis has been placed on leave amid the inquiry.
