Supervisor Andrew Do agrees to plead guilty in federal investigation, resign from Board of Supervisors
Orange County First District Supervisor Andrew Do agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery in federal court relating to a scheme involving Viet America Society and the embezzlement of millions in COVID-relief funds intended to help the county’s most vulnerable residents during the pandemic.
As part of his agreement, he resigned Tuesday from the Board of Supervisors.
United States Attorney Martin Estrada and OC District Attorney Todd Spitzer announced the agreement in a press conference Tuesday morning at the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana. It would be the first conviction of an Orange County supervisor in 50 years, Spitzer said, calling Do the “fox guarding the henhouse.”
