MIAMI - Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has been indicted on multiple charges connected to campaign contribution fraud during his 2018 run for governor of Florida.

A federal grand jury has returned a twenty-one count indictment against Gillum, 42. 

The indictment alleges that between 2016 and 2019, Gillum and co-defendant Sharon Janet 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 indictment also alleges Gillum and Lettman-Hicks 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. 

Gillum is also charged with making false statements to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Gillum's attorneys, Marc Elias and David Oscar Markus, issued the following statement:  "The government got it wrong today. The evidence in this case is clear and will show that Mr. Gillum is innocent of all charges. We look forward to putting this case to rest and giving Andrew and his family peace of mind once and for all."  

Authorities say Gillum and his co-defendant face the following prison terms, if found guilty:

Had he been selected governor, we would have never heard of these charges.

This is the way our rigged "government" works.

The rats came very close to stealing the election and making this clown the Governor. We see now how big that one was.

Florida dodged a bullet in that election. Had Gillum prevailed, not only would they have a scumbag as governor but they wouldn’t have DeSantis either.

Probably some nude photos of him doing lines of Parmesan cheese laced with crack on Hunter's laptop.

Is this the same guy found in a hotel room stoned on meth and in the company of a male prostitute?! Imagine if he had been elected governor. Wow.

I am truly surprised that this. I figured after the drugs and the homosexual prostitute in the hotel room which was all photographically evidenced so to speak, that he was never going to get charged for anything he did, just another Untouchable Democrat

Wow. Somebody at CBS Miami really messed up by including the word “Democratic” in the title. Let’s hope that he/she will be able to find another job soon.

This must have been really, really blatantly criminal. In your face blatant, for a democrat in his position to get indicted by the feds.

Half the Democrats in the United States Congress could be indicted for campaign contribution fraud if anyone in the Department of Justice gave a damn. Starting with the squad and Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee.
