Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby Indicted By Federal Grand Jury

Sandy Malone
January 13, 2022
Baltimore, MD – Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was indicted by
a federal grand jury on Thursday on two counts of perjury and making
false mortgage applications.

The indictment alleged that Marilyn Mosby lied about experiencing
financial hardship from the pandemic on an application to withdraw
$40,000 from her Baltimore City retirement account, The Washington Post
reported.

The Baltimore state’s attorney filed the application under a Cares Act
clause that enabled people impacted by the pandemic to access retirement
money to fill the gap.

The indictment said that Marilyn Mosby claimed two times, under penalty
of perjury, that she had experienced “adverse financial consequences”
related to work hardships, according to The Washington Post.

Federal prosecutors said that wasn’t true.

The indictment said Marilyn Mosby got the retirement money under the
Cares Act and used it to help buy two pieces of property in Florida, The
Washington Post reported.

And then she lied on both of those mortgage applications, according to
prosecutors.

Sponsored:

The indictment said that Marilyn Mosby failed to reveal she had unpaid
federal taxes, as was required by law, when she applied for the
mortgages, The Washington Post reported.

Prosecutors said she also failed to disclose that the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) had placed a $45,000 lien against all properties owned by
Marilyn and Nick Mosby in March of 2020.

Federal prosecutors began investigating the notorious anti-cop state’s
attorney and her husband, Nick Mosby, who is president of the Baltimore
City Council, after the Baltimore inspector general released a report in
February of 2021 that brought into question the state’s attorney’s
travel, personal businesses, and gifts, The Washington Post reported.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
subpoenaed all of the couple’s financial records including their tax
returns, bank statements, credit card statements, loan documents, and
canceled checks, The Baltimore Sun reported.

Sponsored:

They also issued a subpoena to Marilyn Mosby’s campaign treasurer and
requested records going back to 2014.

Additionally, federal investigators wanted to see records related to the
two private travel and consulting businesses owned by the couple that
Marilyn Mosby has said existed in name only, The Washington Post reported.

A. Scott Bolden, an attorney for the Mosbys, issued a statement that
calling the investigation “a political witch hunt in its purest form.”

“My clients are progressive change agents, making them unfair targets of
unnecessary scrutiny by federal investigators. Nevertheless, I can
assure you and the people of Baltimore, they have done nothing illegal,
inappropriate or unlawful,” Bolden said in the statement, according to
The Washington Post.

But the Mosbys have been under investigation for multiple things over
the last two years in addition to the IRS problems.

Marilyn Mosby has been accused of spending more time traveling than
working in her office, prompting the investigation by the city’s
inspector general that ultimately tipped off the feds.

Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming investigated the allegations
and determined that the state’s attorney had spent at least 144 days
away from her office in 2018 and 2019, which means she missed about one
day a week for two years.

Marilyn Mosby’s has disputed the inspector general’s report, The
Washington Post reported.

Cumming also said Marilyn Mosby should have gotten approval for more
than a dozen trips including to Kenya, Portugal, and Scotland that were
paid for by non-profit groups.

She was also criticized for using $3,250 in campaign funds to pay for
her private attorney, The Washington Post reported.

An attorney for Marilyn Mosby said the money has been refunded to the
campaign.

It was the inspector general’s investigation that revealed Marilyn and
Nick Mosby had purchased a new home on Longboat Key in Florida just days
before her campaign announced it was working on setting up a legal
defense fund to offset her expenses, The Baltimore Sun reported.

Sponsored:

Four days after the couple bought the $476,000 condo in February of
2020, the campaign issued a statement that said it was going to
“establish an appropriate mechanism to set up a legal defense fund for
the tens of thousands of dollars in additional costs” that were a result
of the investigations.

Maryland law prohibits using campaign money for personal legal expenses.

In September of 2020, Marilyn and Nick Mosby bought a second “second
home” in Florida, The Baltimore Sun reported.

The latest purchase was a 4,000 square foot, $545,000 home in Kissimmee,
Florida near Walt Disney World.

Sponsored:

Those were the same two home purchases that federal prosecutors said led
to Marilyn Mosby’s indictment, The Washington Post reported.

Marilyn Mosby has been a lightning rod for criticism of violent crime in
Baltimore since her failed prosecution of the officers involved in the
death of Freddie Gray when he was being arrested by the Baltimore police.

She was accused of prosecutorial overreach for charging the officers,
The Washington Post reported.

In June of 2020, Marilyn Mosby dismissed more than 600 pending criminal
cases and announced that her office would no longer be prosecuting many
misdemeanors.

Sponsored:

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently called the Baltimore state’s
attorney a “big part of the problem” with skyrocketing violent crime in
that city, The Washington Post reported.

“We have a prosecutor in Baltimore City who refuses to prosecute violent
criminals and that’s at the root of the problem,” Hogan said.

In September of 2021, the Mosbys’ personal attorney said the U.S.
Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Criminal Tax Division was pursuing a
perjury charge against the state’s attorney over a signature on a
document but that prosecutors refused to tell him anything more, WBFF
reported.

“You can’t prosecute me for perjury, or that I lied about a document,
without telling me what the document is,” Bolden complained to
reporters. “Without telling me what the lie is. That’s denial of due
process. Every one of them, there were eight in the room, refused to
tell us what the lie was, what the document they saw.”

No date has been set for Marilyn Mosby’s first court appearance on the
federal charges, The Washington Post reported.

excerpts from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Mosby

In 2015, Mosby charged six police officers, who had arrested Freddie
Gray prior to his death, with a variety of crimes including
second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.---

In a May 4, 2015, interview on Fox News, Harvard Law Professor Alan
Dershowitz said that he believes Mosby overcharged the officers in an
attempt to satisfy protesters and prevent further disturbances.[33]
Former Baltimore Prosecutor Page Croyder wrote an op-ed in The Baltimore
Sun in which she described Mosby's charges as reflecting "either
incompetence or an unethical recklessness". Croyder said that Mosby
circumvented normal procedures "to step into the national limelight",
and that she "pandered to the public", creating an expectation of a
conviction.[34]

On May 21, a grand jury indicted the officers on most of the original
charges filed by Mosby, with the exception of the charges of illegal
imprisonment and false arrest, and added charges of reckless
endangerment to all the officers involved.[35] In May 2015, Mosby
appeared onstage at concert with the musician Prince, after which she
was criticized for using the Freddie Gray incident for personal and
political gain.[36] The Baltimore Sun reported that Mosby received
$12,000 in free travel to speak at events around the nation after the
officers were charged.[37]

When asked to respond to the allegation from police that she does not
support the police, Mosby called the notion 'absurd', citing her
family's history of working in law enforcement.[38] Mosby was criticized
for ordering the increased police presence, in the same neighborhood
where Gray was arrested, just weeks prior to the incident.[39]

William Porter was the first officer tried; this resulted in a hung
jury, and the judge declared a mistrial in December 2015.[40] The
Baltimore Sun reported that Porter was within one vote of an acquittal
on the most serious charge against him.[41]

The second trial of officers ended on May 11, 2016, when Officer Edward
Nero was acquitted on all charges.[42] His acquittal resulted in
increased criticism of Mosby for having moved too quickly in charging
the officers.[43][44][45]

The third trial ended on June 23, 2016, and Officer Goodson was
acquitted on all counts.[46] George Washington University Law School
professor John F. Banzhaf III filed a complaint with the Maryland's
Attorney Grievance Commission against Mosby, saying she did not have
probable cause to charge six officers in the death of Freddie Gray, and
also that she repeatedly withheld evidence from the officers' defense
attorneys.[47][48][49][50]
