Washington, D.C.’s delegate to Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton , was scammed by a fake cleaning crew, and police alleged it may have been connected to her reported dementia.

Norton, 88, has served in her position for over 34 years, and she has repeatedly rebuffed calls to step down even as elderly leaders face growing pressure to step aside for the next generation. A police report, obtained by NBC4 Washington, about a group of scammers posing as a cleaning company described Norton as having the “early stages of dementia,” the first time this has been publicly claimed.
