TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - He almost became Florida's governor, but now, former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is preparing to go to trial Monday for federal corruption charges. He's accused of defrauding campaign donors and lying to the FBI.
Now, five years later, Gillum faces 17 counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of lying to the FBI.

Talk about dodging a cocaine filled bullet. SMH
Typical black democrat politician
“Typical black democrat politician”
No. This guy political career was over before this. If he was still a viable future candidate, they would have never charged him. Charging him for lying to the FBI? LOLOLOLOL. That is letting him know he is no longer a member of the club.
And yet, Hunter and Joe Biden walk free.
If you want to get all the details, check this out. A guy I know actually started the ball rolling many years ago.
Two other Tallahassee politicians are serving time. It’s all related.

What’s a statement. I’m so moved by his plight. I wonder how many are going to take the bait and send this miscreant some money
In the language of the Italian mafia, the bidens are head of a connected crime family.... Gillum was at the expendable foot soldier rank.....and about to be part of the federal prison system......thst is until biden pardons him.
If he had been elected in Florida, he would have been the dream VP candidate to have on the ticket with Biden.
An African-American that appeared articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. That’s a storybook, man. :>)
Dems love his kind. They love those that go on wild rants sort of like the way they loved Anthony Weiner before he got exposed (or should I say before he exposed himself?). They love those that offer nothing but attacks but no solutions. Gillum was very good at that — far better than Kamala. It was after Gillum was ruled “OUT,” that’s when biden said his choice would be a black woman.
If Gillum had been governor of Florida, a state needed by the dems, he would have been the VP pick. Fortunately he lost and has been exposed as a corrupt gay prostitute buying junkie. He was very close to be VP.
Thanks 👍
Perhaps, but criminal convictions are Democrat resume enhancers for some big cities; look at Marion Berry
We know a kid who attended FSU around the time of the first DeSantis for Governor campaign. He said it was widely-known in Tallahassee that Gillum (Mayor of Tallahassee at the time) was a practicing out-of-the-closet homosexual.
This kid was stunned that absolutely no news outlet ever mentioned this. And Gillum’s campaign did not try to use it as an argument to vote Gillum.
BTW - Gillum winning the Democrat nomination was a really slickly-engineered thing. Gwen Graham (daughter of former Governor and former US Senator) Bob Graham looked like a shoe-in. The Bernie Sanders people got on-board for Gillum and Gwen Graham was SHOCKED to learn she was lost bigly.
Supposedly Gillium was getting a lot of money from some BS org that was really Soros backed.
He was asked point blank by local news person and he didn’t answer. The local paper covered for him too. It was blatant. The guy literally did nothing while serving in Tallahassee. Some of his followers were trying to prop him up as the next Obama.
