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.”

FLORIDA PING!....................
Bullet dodged.
This idiot came within 34,000 votes of being FL governor.
And was busted in a hotel room with meth and a gay prostitute. While married.
I hope DeSantis offers him a deal. Turn states evidence on election fraud and all charges dropped.
People of FL dodged a bullet when they decided not to elect this POS.
Gee, I did not know he was a potential democratic 2024 presidential candidate........ imagine his bad luck.
This loser sure made the dems look stupid. Sounds like they’re getting him off the scene for any future endeavors.
I guess he’s not a member of “The Club”
Nowhere in the article does it mention he’s a Democrat.....
So why is the Deep State going after one of their own?
There’s got to be more to this than appears on the surface.
“I hope DeSantis offers him a deal. Turn states evidence on election fraud and all charges dropped.”
Federal, not state.
How close were we to this criminal to being our governor?......33k votes or some such?
If he woulda made it to Tallahassee I suspect ALL this woulda been covered up.
Talk about hearing a bullet Wizz by your head......sheesh.
“This idiot came within 34,000 votes of being FL governor.”
Needs fixing ...
He came within 34,000 votes of stealing that election cycle.
Even The Club has standards.
Not many, but this guy didn’t make the cut..............
All i will say is Thank God for DeSantis.
These are Federal Charges, he’s likely to go away for a significant amount of time.
In the Democrat Party it’s better to be a criminal than an embarrassment. Money laundering, extortion, bribery and wire fraud? No big deal. Getting caught in a motel room with drugs and a male escort means indictments for all the above crimes and the end of a political career.
He got caught naked and drugged up in a motel room with a male prostitute.
Even the Deep State can’t cover that up..............
