Last week US Rep Corrine Brown and an aide were indicted by the Justice Dept on charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
Yesterday, the congresswoman took to her blog to defend herself against the 24 count indictment. In part she said, “Last week was very rough. Two black men were needlessly gunned down by police; five Dallas police officers were slain by a demented man; and on Friday I had to appear in federal court.”
WFTV has more on the indictment and blog postings of Brown, including information that “thousands of donated dollars went into her daughters account.” You can read and watch more on this story HERE.
If convicted on the 24 counts listed in the federal indictment, Brown could face more than 300 years in prison.
The U.S. House Committee on Ethics is also investigating Brown.
The federal trial is scheduled for September.
