Whether anyone has donated remains a mystery.
The fund, which opened for donations in mid-2021, was created so the power couple could defend themselves against a federal criminal tax investigation. Prominent supporters and community leaders have encouraged contributions, posting on Facebook and appearing at news conferences.Mosby’s state ethics disclosure — specifically a section of it dealing with gifts — could have been one of a few windows into such fundraising.
“This is where we are: hundred of thousands of dollars of debt in attorneys’ fees, fighting a battle,” she said, speaking to media outside the federal courthouse in Baltimore.A 1993 opinion from the Maryland State Ethics Commission outlined the rules as they relate to legal defense funds, as did as a 2017 ethics commission guideline on gifts.
While neither of the Mosbys has been charged with tax crimes, Marilyn Mosby was federally indicted in January on two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements on loan applications to buy two properties in Florida: An eight-bedroom house near Disney World and a condo on the state’s Gulf Coast. Nick Mosby has not been charged with anything.coronavirus
During its inquiry into the couple’s campaign spending, the State Board of Elections asked about the legal defense fund. Attorney James J. Temple, who responded for the couple, said that as of March 1, “there have been no payments to any law firm hired by the candidate or the committee by any legal defense fund.” Temple did not say whether the fund had garnered any donations.The defense fund website prompts visitors to consider donations of $10, $50, $100, $250, $500 or $1.000.
