Prince George's council members want Johnson to step aside | Washington Examiner

A coalition of current and incoming Prince George's County Council members have joined critics who want Leslie Johnson to give up the council seat she won before being escorted from her home in handcuffs, multiple sources said.

Johnson and her husband, County Executive Jack Johnson, were taken into custody a week ago for trying to conceal thousands of dollars in bribes from developers, the first in an expected series of arrests related to a widespread investigation into corruption by Prince George's government officials.
