Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown (D) has been charged on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy as prosecutors allege she funded a lavish lifestyle by stealing the donations to a charity meant to help poor children with scholarships.
Prosecutors in Florida have laid out an expansive case in U.S. District Court, charting years of payments they say were funneled from the charity to her personal bank accounts.
Corrine Brown, a DNC superdelegate who pledged her vote for Hillary Clinton in the unethical 2016 Democratic primary, is pleading not guilty to the charges, claiming she was unwittingly duped by her long-term associates.
But prosecutors argue this is impossible.
“She knew exactly how to lie to these donors, and knew exactly where the cash money was going,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Tysen Duva in his opening statement Wednesday.
The money, provided by donors to assist with the education of poor children, was actually blown on regular Beverley Hills shopping sprees, luxury vacations, VIP tickets to Beyonce concerts, fancy restaurants and personal expenses.
Federal prosecutors said Corrine Brown and her associates used a charity called One Door for Education to bring in more than $800,000 between 2012 and 2016.
However Brown’s indictment says One Door for Education, despite bringing in more than $800,000, only gave out a single scholarship worth $1,200 to an unidentified person in Florida.
