A Mistrial, a Mega-Garage, and D.C.’s Giant Spa

<p>Cuneyt and Tom dig into the fallout from Trayon White’s federal bribery trial after a hung jury resulted in a mistrial. White acknowledged taking $35,000 during the trial — raising a separate question for the D.C. Council: even without a conviction, will his colleagues censure, reprimand or even try to expel him again? Tom shares what he's hearing.</p><p>Then, they turn to RFK Stadium, where residents of nearby Kingman Park are fighting plans for an enormous eight-story, 3,600-space parking garage stretching nearly 800 feet along their neighborhood.</p><p>Plus: D.C.’s surprisingly serious plan for a roughly 500,000-square-foot waterfront spa at Poplar Point. Tom thinks it’s a terrible use of prime Anacostia River land. Cuneyt makes the case that every great civilization deserves its bathhouse.</p><p>00:00 Inside D.C.’s Political Boat Party</p><p>03:38 Will the Council Punish Trayon White?</p><p>10:00 RFK Stadium Has a Massive Parking Problem</p><p>17:03 Does D.C.
