Supervisor Janet Nguyen statement on Orange County audit outlining Andrew Do pay-for-play scheme

EDITOR’S NOTE: Report attached

“For years I have known that Andrew Do was a criminal, acting as the Godfather of Little Saigon – strongarming political opponents and pressuring his minions to do more. Now the county has evidence of all of it and I’m hoping the federal DOJ, FBI, state Attorney General, the District Attorney and the FPPC investigate.

Do’s federal bribery conviction was the tip of the iceberg. Orange County auditors found he colluded with Chief of Staff Chris Wangsaporn steered millions to allies and family members. This involved pay-to-play schemes that sometimes included campaign donations.

Every single person and business who participated in this fraud needs to be investigated and criminally charged if the evidence warrants it. Andrew Do is the poster child for why people don’t trust the government. He’s given a permanent black eye to this great county and made District 1 constituents suffer.”
