    Former Prince George’s County Councilwoman Leslie E. Johnson, who followed her husband’s ambitions into politics last year, will now follow in his footsteps to prison. Federal Judge Peter J. Messitte sentenced Johnson Friday to 12 months and one day in prison, despite arguments by her defense attorneys that her sentence should be downgraded to probation only. “Mrs. Johnson, I regret to say you are not an innocent spouse, you are a complicit spouse,” Judge Messitte said. “You knew at least along the way what he was doing. You knew the money was tainted.” Johnson also must serve two years under...

    A prominent Maryland councilwoman who made international headlines for flushing a bribe down the toilet and stuffing another in her underwear has pleaded guilty to a felony but won’t leave her $96,417-a-year public job.

In November Johnson and her equally corrupt husband (Jack Johnson) got arrested...

    Former Prince George’s County Executive Jack B. Johnson on Tuesday pleaded guilty to two felony charges involving thousands of dollars in bribes he solicited as part of a “pay-to-play” culture federal authorities say he fostered throughout his two terms in office. Johnson, who led Prince George’s from 2002 to December and was the county’s top prosecutor for eight years before that, entered his guilty plea in federal court in Greenbelt on charges of extortion and witness and evidence tampering. As part of the plea, he admitted accepting a $100,000 check from a county developer in exchange for securing federal funding...
