Corrine Brown, a former Democratic representative from Florida was found guilty of fraud, however, this is not the first time Brown was arrested, she was found guilty of fraud for a non-profit she operated in which the non-revenue profits were transferred to her personal accounts, where it was spent on lavish vacations, shopping, and parties. During the COVID panic, she was serving a five-year sentence when she was released early. Brown was convicted on 18 of the 22 charges that were brought against her.
And as we already knew by the fact that Democrats only employ children when telling the truth is ineffective, as, from over 600,000 abortions per year, you can tell what they think of children. Now, Brown build a “One Door for Education Foundation,” a charity for children, the funds, however, were supposed to use to help poor and underprivileged children, but instead, she used them for a luxurious lifestyle.
Well, so much for the Democrats caring for the youth.
Brown however admitted to defrauding the IRS by deducting charitable contributions she did not make and that she spent the money on lavish parties and vacations, on her federal case on Wednesday. Brown then pleaded to one count of tax fraud.
Brown, a formerly influential Florida Democrat who had previously pleaded not guilty to 18 charges including mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, and filing false tax returns, was scheduled to have a change of plea hearing on Wednesday morning by U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan, as reported by AP.
According to AP:
Brown’s lawyers did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
The second trial had been set to begin Sept. 12. Brown’s original 2017 conviction was thrown out by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals because Corrigan improperly removed a juror during deliberations who had said the “Holy Spirit” told him she was innocent.
Brown, 75, served about two years of a five-year sentence before her release in April 2020 because of fears her age made her more susceptible to the coronavirus pandemic in prison.
But despite having admitted guilt to a tax crime, Brown has been receiving her pension all along and will continue to do so in the years to come as reported by News4Jax.
The News4Jax reported that “Corrine Brown could continue to receive her pension while she appealed her conviction after she was found guilty. She kept getting it after it was dismissed while she awaited a new trial, which was set to begin in the fall of 2022”. The report added that “in order for a member of Congress to lose their pension for a felony conviction, the crime must be related to their congressional actions.”
