A Democrat running for a U.S. House seat in Virginia has been indicted on charges of fraud, embezzlement and theft in connection with events that allegedly occurred in 2012.
Shaun Brown, 58, appeared in a Norfolk courtroom last week and denied any wrongdoing, the Daily Press of Newport News, Va., reported. She said she intends to fight the charges and be exonerated, the report said.
Brown is next scheduled to appear in court Jan. 12 and will plead not guilty, her attorney, James Ellenson, told the Daily Press.
Prosecutors said Brown received about $803,000 via her nonprofit organization as a participant in a U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program.
They alleged that Brown acquired funds by filing false reimbursement claims with the Virginia Department of Health.
Prosecutors said Brown and others told employees to inflate the figures for the number of meals served to low-income children, and the nonprofit would the pocket the extra reimbursements, the Washington Post reported.
According to the Daily Press, Brown acknowledged that the program had “irregularities” that she hoped to see fixed.
“I want the irregularities corrected,” she said. “I want to see the program improve.”
Earlier in December, Brown filed a suit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Virginia Department of Health and others, alleging discrimination against African-Americans, delayed payments, falsified reimbursements and claims for reimbursement, the Daily Press reported.
She and her mother, Jenever Brown, who co-founded the nonprofit, are seeking $10 million in damages, the report said.

Mom and daughter can share a cell...
Yep. I’m sure there was some fraud in Alabama (on another topic); I’m also CERTAIN that urban liberals ALWAYS have a preference for the gay-agenda, pro-abortion Democrats.
Over and over and over and over again.
According to the Daily Press, Brown acknowledged that the program had “irregularities” that she hoped to see fixed.
“I want the irregularities corrected,” she said. “I want to see the program improve.”
Her Christmas wish is granted. She is no longer in the program and going to jail. Maybe she can work in the prison kitchen?
Darn irregularities made $803,000 go into her pocket.
Darn the luck!!
I greatly admire black conservatives who don’t meekly follow the blind sheeples into submissions to DemoRat tribalisms en masse like el stupidos who can’t or wont think for themselves— or just plain choose corruptions as a way of life.
Fraud and embezzlement....democrat endorsement points
No way! That can't be the same woman??!
It’s not that..come on.
She’ll get elected anyway because black people vote for crack heads if they’re black. SEE MAYOR BARRY.
Big Gubamint is by its nature susceptible to all types of criminals and fraudulent ventures.
That there are those who seek to feed off the largesse is no surprise. That more than a few are friends of Obammy and clan is also no surprise.
Sad but true, the demorat followers will likely vote for her from jail...or if she is in there with them!
From Daily Kos, your knee jerk liberal trash page:
“..Ms. Brown is a Bernie Delegate and a strong progressive. She does not see our country as a putrid mess like most republicans but a country that is facing real challenges, among them, fighting for a $15 minimum wage, criminal justice and tuition reform, environmental protections and strengthening Social Security for future retirees. As an added bonus, Shaun Brown would make history by being the first African American congresswoman elected from Virginia....”
She’ll just be one more money-grubbing con artist when she gets sent away to the big house.
Since she is a democrat this only enhances her resume.

Okay
Picture..1,000 words.
Eye bleach. Priceless!!
She also wants United Airlines to give your first class seat to her because she’s a Congress Critter.
Minority demonrat female. It’s a shoo in.
I would support something that their net worth would increase at the same rate as the national GDP.
Might get them to vote a little more responsibly.
For a democrat that’s a resume enhancement
She’ll fit right in with those pillars of virtue known as the Congressional Black Caucus.
Just as I suspected, a fat Black woman who doesn’t look like she ever misses a meal, stealing from disadvantaged children’s food assistance program. Not many Blacks in politics today with a scintilla of ethics.
