As of May 2026, there are no reports of criminal convictions, indictments, or formal ethics violations against Muriel Bowser; however, her administration has been subject to multiple FBI investigations related to allegations of corruption, bribery, and misconduct, with four investigations since 2023, three of which led to formal charges and one conviction (wjla.com). Notably, former Deputy Director Dana McDaniel was criminally charged with accepting a $10,000 bribe to influence contracts at the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, and Bridgette Crowell was sentenced to seven months in prison for steering city contracts in exchange for cash and a car (wjla.com). Additionally, Olivia French, a former board member appointed by Bowser, admitted to selling bogus cosmetology licenses for up to $4,000, with the FBI still investigating her case (wjla.com). There have been no reports of resignations, dismissals, or convictions related to these investigations. Bowser's administration has also faced scrutiny over her travel expenses and relationships with Qatar, but the U.S. Attorney's Office has stated that she is not under investigation or target of any investigation regarding her trips to the Middle East in 2023 (wjla.com), and federal officials have denied any investigation into her (wjla.com).
