House committee has found that there's not enough evidence to conclude that District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray promised a job to a former mayoral candidate.
Sulaimon Brown's allegations are also under investigation by a federal grand jury. Brown says Gray's campaign staffers gave him cash and that the future mayor promised him a job in the administration in exchange for making negative comments about then-Mayor Adrian Fenty. Brown was hired in January for a $110,000-a-year position, but was fired after less than a month.
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform found that Brown's allegations that he was paid by Gray's campaign appear credible. The committee noted that Brown received money orders tied to Howard Brooks, a Gray campaign aide. Its report was released Monday.
