The D.C. Council met behind closed doors to talk about its conduct and other personnel matters after a fall session that began this week with officials swearing and hurling insults at each other.
Thursday afternoon's meeting, which lasted more than two hours, was closed immediately after it opened with police officers escorting members of the news media out and standing guard at the door. During the voice vote to close the meeting, none of the nine council members present objected.
