January 1, Governor Candidate Charged with Fraud
Andrew Gillum, the Democratic candidate for the governor of Florida in 2018, was indicted in federal court on fraud charges, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
The indictment alleges that between 2016 and 2019, Gillum and Sharon Letterman-Hicks, his longtime adviser, “conspired to commit wire fraud by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose.”
Gillum and Letterman-Hicks are also accused of using “third parties to divert a portion of those funds to a company owned by Lettman-Hicks, who then fraudulently provided the funds, disguised as payroll payments, to Gillum for his personal use,” the DOJ said.
While both defendants are charged with 19 counts of wire fraud, Gillum also faces a charge of making false statements to the FBI.
Wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years, and the maximum term of imprisonment for making false statements is five years.
Gillum, a former Tallahassee mayor, proclaimed his innocence in a statement to NBC News.
“I have spent the last 20 years of my life in public service and continue to fight for the people,” Gillum said.
“Every campaign I’ve run has been done with integrity. Make no mistake that this case is not legal, it is political. Throughout my career I have always stood up for the people of Florida and have spoken truth to power. There’s been a target on my back ever since I was the mayor of Tallahassee. They found nothing then, and I have full confidence that my legal team will prove my innocence now.”

This is standard for all democrats! Bribery, extortion, pay offs, sexual harassment, rape, child pedophilia and molestation, murder, lies, cover ups, collusion with the enemy, disclosure of National secrets to the enemy for profit, treason, aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war, cowardice in face of the enemy, abandoning American citizens behind enemy lines and refusal to recover them, destruction of our National Borders, refusal to follow Constitutional law and laws of our nation! From Clintons to Obama to Biden and on down to state and local governments it is epidemic to our Nation! The black racist mayor of DC tortures the Jan 6th prisoners by denial of medical care for those injured, denial of access to decent food, lawyers, doctors, basic human sanitation rights like clean clothes, bedding, bathing and showering. If if prisoners violate her laws, they are stripped naked and incarcerated in solitary confinement! This must end, And it must end by immediate physical intervention to remove Bowers and free the prisoners. These are American citizens she is deliberately treating worse than dogs! And she is now denying access by Republican members of Congress! She has no legal rights to do so!
