The indictment comes as the mayor faces criticism over the police-involved death of Daniel Prude
Mayor Lovely Warren was indicted Friday on campaign finance charges stemming from her re-election campaign three years ago, officials said.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley announced that Warren is facing two felonies, including scheme to defraud in the first degree and violation of election law. Also charged were Warren’s campaign treasurer, Albert Jones Jr., and the treasurer of her political action committee, Rosalind Brooks-Harris.
Warren has not been arrested but will be processed, Doorley said. If convicted, she would be removed from office.
“This could be a long process and we anticipate that there could be challenges along the way so I don’t think this will be anything resolved quickly,” Doorley said during a news briefing.
Warren has called the investigation a “political witch hunt." Her lawyer did not return messages from Fox News seeking comment.
Specifics about the ongoing investigation were not revealed but the charges focused on Warren's first term in office from November 2013 through November 2017 in which she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for her re-election, RochesterFirst.com reported.
Doorley said the city's first female mayor and others took steps to evade contribution limits.
The New York State Board of Elections has been investigating the mayor over financial interactions between a political action committee that supported her re-election and her campaign committee. At one point, the Warren for a Stronger Rochester PAC transferred $30,000 from the group to Warren's committee, Friends of Lovely Warren, according to 2017 expenditure reports obtained by the news site.

Did Thurston Howell also get caught up in this?
Political party, Democratic—wikipedia
I am shocked, I tell ya!
Charge people voting illegally and putting them in prison will help.
Immediately deport anyone who is not a citizen and tries to vote.
They told you that in the story, when they didn’t tell you that. BMM
What's this world comin' to ?
Thankfully not. Lovely Warren was indicted. But Lovey Howell is still free as a bird.
Soros must have overlooked the Rochester DA
“Warren has not been arrested but will be processed“
I will have to remember that if the cops ever show up to arrest me. “You can’t arrest me! But you CAN process me.”
Black, Democrat, and Female. A trifecta!
This was my hometown for 20 years so I know what the city was like before the Dems took over.
Whoever would replace her will probably be just as bad.
It was a great city.
Black females in these high positions in big Dem city governments ,including Police Chiefs which was only revealed (for me at least)when the stuff started hitting the fan, end of May, has been pretty much of a surprise; what everyon now calls “a revelation” Current AND former. Amazing ,the regularity of this.
“...political witch hunt....”
Guess they found one!
waiting to see what action is taken against ilhan too- she’s as corrupt as they come it seems- yet noone has done anything about it yet-
Doorley is also a RAT.
I don’t believe you’re supposed to be connecting dots like that...
These are just coincidences.
