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:

Watch Brandon pardon immediately.

Yes, because who hasn't had a few "indiscretions" with male prostitutes, granddaughters and German shepherds in the shower?

It’s disturbing

Indeed. We were very fortunate here in Florida to have elected Desantis, and we intend to re-elect him for a second term as Governor of Florida.

“He was almost governor of Florida... “

Insanely scary. He would have made Biden look like Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln by comparison.

Rhetorical: do you realize how close he came to beating out DeSantis for Governor? We were truly blessed that it did not happen.

Andrew Gillum’s gay orgy meth controversy apparently costs him his marriage.

Info on Mrs. Sharon Joones Lettman-Hicks:

Sharon has appeared on broadcast and in print media nationally, including Comcast Newsmakers, CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, Black Enterprise magazine and Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine. She served on the board of directors for the Schott Foundation for Public Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Sharon believes activism includes the need to financially support your interests—she is a fully-paid life member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Florida A&M University (FAMU) National Alumni Association, and the NAACP. Her personal motto is “Own Your Power,” which has been adopted as an empowerment slogan for NBJC. Sharon is the proud wife of a retired Iraqi War veteran who served in the United States Air Force for more than 25 years, has two children, and resides in Tallahassee, Florida.

No mention of her political activism on behalf of gay men ...
