(AP) — A high-ranking elected official in Orange County, California, has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery as part of a scheme involving a charity and the misuse of COVID-19 relief funds.

Orange County filed a lawsuit this year claiming a local nonprofit, Viet America Society, misused funds it received during the coronavirus pandemic to feed the elderly and disabled.
