Gillum claimed in a statement that he was innocent and that the charges were political, even though he is being charged by the Department of Justice, which is overseen by the Biden administration.
“The Indictment alleges that between 2016 and 2019, defendants Gillum and Lettman-Hicks 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,” the statement says. “The Indictment further alleges the defendants used 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.”
“Both defendants are charged with 19 counts of wire fraud,” the statement added. “Gillum is also charged with making false statements to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
If found guilty, Gillum faces up to 5 years in prison for making false statements, 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and 20 years in prison per charge for wire fraud.
In 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic threw the U.S. into chaos, Gillum, who has children and was married, was found in a hotel room with a male escort and suspected baggies of crystal meth.
“Plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth, empty beer bottles and prescription pills are seen scattered among trash and soiled bedding in the shocking images,” the Daily Mail reported. “He was inside room 1107 with two more men, one of them a 30 year-old male escort named Travis Dyson, who was found naked and in the throes of a drug overdose.”

DeSantis, the best governor in America, only beat this creep by .44%. Let that sink in.
And was busted in a hotel room with meth and a gay prostitute. While married.
= = =
Should have been on a Pride Parade Float.
Could have done the same stuff and been safe.
I know it irritates the crap out of me. If Republican then it is usually part of the headline or in 1st paragraph or both.
His biggest mistake was choosing the wrong state to run in; In DC, he would’ve won by a landslide.
Standards? Doubtful. Let’s just call it what the dem party specializes in: Racism.
Dems realized he showed poor judgment; they’re not supposed to steal millions until after being elected.
Sounds like something every member of CONgress that has a Family Foundation does on a daily basis...

That's a good enough reason.
Throw one under the bus as a sacrificial offering once in a while.
He must have crossed the wrong person.
Also, they want the position cleared so they can put in someone even worse, just like Cuomo and Hochul in NY.
Democrats tried to sell this drug addicted pervert as a ‘family man’... I wonder if he left his laptop at a computer repair shop...
There’s a big gap between lies democrats tell you about their candidates (lies the press is only too happy to carry for them) and the truth of who they really are.
The corrupt press helped us by not letting us get away with this crap. One more reason to vote against all democrats - God only knows what they really are.
The media was guaranteeing a Desantis loss, so many other races were the socialist democrat Marxists cheating and colluding to win.
This is the ‘man’ who ran against DeSantis for Governor of Florida. Gillum was ahead in the polls and received the editorial support of most Florida newspapers.
He came close to winning.
Luckily DeSantis had Trump’s support and blessing - that support might have been just enough to give DeSantis the edge. Without that blessing we could have had a drug addicted criminal pervert for Governor during the Covid years - with lockdowns, corruption, commie shit in our schools etc... we were so lucky.
A real moral paragon. In other words, the perfect democrat politician.
With Gillum Florida didn’t dodge a bullet.
Florida dodged a freaking thermonuclear weapon!
There is a God.
4 more years...
desantis for florida governor 2022...
florida first!... 😎
“DeSantis, the best governor in America, only beat this creep by .44%. Let that sink in.”
Still correct, and reads better as: 0.4%
FL Dems were trying to do a cheating count-o-rama — likely the same reason that Nikki Fried is our ag commissioner.
Mark Elias is Gillum’s lawyer.
(Formerly of Washington DC).
FL would have been a disaster area, and I wouldn’t have moved down here. It would have been the Maryland of the South.
