BREAKING: A Florida jury found Andrew Gillum, a once-rising Democratic star, not guilty of lying to the FBI but was deadlocked on 17 other charges stemming from allegations he illegally solicited campaign donations and funneled them to himself.
The former Tallahassee mayor faced 17 counts of wire fraud and a wire fraud conspiracy count, each carrying a maximum of 20 years behind bars. He was also charged with a single count of lying to the FBI, which carries a five-year maximum sentence. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
"You'll see the pattern repeating over and over," Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Grogan told jurors."Once the money comes in, it goes right out to pay his salary." Specifically, Gillum was accused of accepting $57,000 in political contributions. Prosecutors also said he lied to authorities about his dealings with undercover FBI agents who posed as developers and paid for a pricey 2016 trip for Gillum and his brother to New York City, complete with complimentary tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway.
Williams testified he joined Gillum's gubernatorial campaign after a surprising victory in a primary race that saw Gillum beat former Rep. Gwen Graham, a centrist. Gillum's win was seen as one of the most significant progressive victories of the 2018 primary season, in which Florida had emerged as a battleground.
