Federal investigators have executed search warrants at Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh’s residences and Baltimore City Hall. The FBI has confirmed it is working with the IRS. Sources confirm the search warrants are part of a criminal investigation into the mayor.
Pugh has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for book deals that paid her hundreds of thousands of dollars. She received payments from several companies and entities for her “Healthy Holly” children’s books totaling at least $700,000.
Federal law enforcement sources confirmed to CBS News that the book deal is part of the investigation but that there is “more to the picture.” It is unclear what other aspects of her actions are now under scrutiny. The FBI has not confirmed details contained in sealed search warrants.
Pugh, who has been on a leave of absence since April 1, has refused to step down amid calls for her resignation. CBS Baltimore reported that Baltimore City council members signed a letter earlier this month calling for Pugh to step down.

Baltimore is one of America’s 3rd world cities.

“Among the locations being raided by the FBI in Baltimore: + City Hall + Two homes owned by Mayor Catherine Pugh + The Maryland Center for Adult Training +The office of Pugh’s attorney, Steven Silverman + Home of Pugh aide Gary Brown Jr.”
Wow, thats some field trip.
She writes ‘children’s books’.
I get the vague feeling this is not about unpaid taxes, but child porn, else why raid other peoples’ homes?...............
She only did it for the chilluns.
get back to me when then they crash Obama and Hillary’s front door and raid their azz
I miss the crab cakes, tho...
Can we make a trade deal on this one?
Baltimore can keep their Mayor and 25 unnamed payrollers, and in trade, the feds do a deep check of Fatso Pritzker?
We buy, we sell and we trade!
Such a deal!!!
Someone’s having a really bad day.
Let me guess - racism?
They haven’t played that card yet...............but watch for it..................
Guilty!
Is this the same woman who said the Baltimore rioters needed freedom to destroy?
May Pugh and cronies spend decades in prison.
That was Marilyn Mosby, the DA..................
How many third worst cities are there?
GUILTY!!!!!!!
