Orange County Official Admits to COVID Relief Bribery Scheme

Andrew Do, former county supervisor, pleads guilty to conspiracy charges after misusing funds meant for the elderly.

Andrew Do, a former Orange County supervisor, admitted to accepting over $550,000 in bribes related to COVID-19 relief funds.
The funds were intended for the Viet America Society to provide meals for the elderly, but only 15% of the $9 million went to this purpose.
Do's plea deal involves a connection to his daughter, Rhiannon, who worked for the organization and will not face charges due to her cooperation.
Authorities have seized over $2 million and are pursuing further recovery of misused funds.
Do is scheduled for sentencing in March 2025, facing a potential maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.
