Florida Rep. Corrine Brown has been indicted and will be appear in federal court in Jacksonville on Friday, according to First Coast News.
The Jacksonville television station, citing "multiple sources," said the indictment remains sealed.
It had been known publicly since March that Brown, a Democrat, was facing a Department of Justice Investigation related to "fraudulent activities," and whether or not she improperly solicited charitable donations and misused campaign funds. DOJ officials asked the House Ethics Committee to halt a separate investigation while they conducted their probe.
The target of the investigation has not been identified, but Brown does have links to the head of a charity who pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and agreed to cooperate with the feds. Court documents mention a public official, identified only as "person A." In addition, Brown was also served with a federal subpoena in January.

My head is jello, per Hildabeast.
Don’t think she will get to use the “she just didn’t understand “
AKA “dumb Blond” defense !
This public schooled moron can’t construct a complete sentence.
Calling her a buffoon is a compliment.
#BlackLIESmatter
She will be reelected. Conviction or no.
Democrats love crooked politicians,
Yup, that's the law of the land now.
As many pundits all over the media have said, what a terrible precedence this sets for our judicial system. I foresee many Federal convictions to be reviewed by lawyers and file petitions of redress to Federal courts siting this precedence.
Such a childish outcome from our once esteemed Federal Bureau of Investigation. I couldn't be more disgusted, and now more hopeless for the future of this once great Republic that changed the World for the better.
NO INTENT!!! FREE HER!!!!
She has her Hillary Clinton mask and defense all ready to go.
Loretta Lynch going after a Negro Democrat Congresswoman? Brown must not have gotten out of the way for a more favored candidate.
Met her once. Thought she was dead by now...........................
Please show me where you saw that. She has long been touted to be the smartest most savvy woman in America. It does not compute.
Is there an “Innocent by reason of stupidity” plea available?
Corrine Delivers! /s
DOJ officials asked the House Ethics Committee to halt a separate investigation while they conducted their probe.......She’ll get off. A Dem, DOJ, “don’t anybody else look into this. She’ll skate.
And some say zombies aren't real.
Yes, my wife and I are from J’ville when we were young. We were home visiting once and she was campaigning out on the street for reelection. We talked a while and when she found out we didn’t live there she went on down the street.................
She will plead careless
That was his testimony this morning when asked if a reasonable person should have understood classified markings and he responded that before today he would make that assumption but after this case he determined that she wasn’t sophisticated to know she should have known.
She is WAY too stupid to know what fraud even means. If you gave her a dictionary she couldn’t understand the definition. If she could even read it. She skates, mark my words.
