What happened
The jury in the federal bribery trial of Trayon White did not reach a verdict on the first day of deliberations. White is accused of taking cash payments and using his official position to extend contracts for Allieu Kamara, his former friend and FBI informant. The defense is referencing the Bob McDonnell case and its review by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding what constitutes an 'official act' under federal bribery law.

Why it matters
The trial focuses on whether conversations with government officials qualify as official acts, a standard established in the high-profile Bob McDonnell case. The outcome could influence how legal precedents regarding federal bribery are applied in future cases.
