Former Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown was found guilty on 18 fraud and tax evasion charges Thursday afternoon in a Jacksonville federal court.
The charges stemmed from accusations she illegally siphoned thousands of dollars from her charity into her own bank account for lavish parties, trips and shopping excursions.
Brown was found not guilty on four of the 22 total charges.
Brown served as a Florida representative in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 until 2017. She was defeated in her 2016 primary race.
The indictment came after an investigation into the charity One Door for Education Foundation Inc., which federal prosecutors say was purported to give scholarships to poor students but instead filled the coffers of Brown and her associates.

Finally..one liberal going where she belongs....PRISON
shhhh lets talk about Comey.
Time to scold her with a scowl and shake a pointed finger at her!
That's all she's likely to get...
Watch her videos prior to court all about its a witch hunt, skin color etc... Maxine Waters stated she did NOTHING wrong... FYI Susan Rice is worth 50 MILLION I wonder how?
She and Maxine should be staying in the same prison cell together and I am sure they would be mentally shanking all white people.
It couldn't have happened to a nastier person. A few months in a minimum security jail or home confinement, with a small fine is all that we can expect.
not surprised whatsoever....a politician who wasn't worthy!
Lock her up - for a long while...she breached the public trust!
Funny I dont see this reported in CNN
She's a saint compared to what Clinton has done with her foundation.....but the FBI left Clinton off the hook for her crimes.
I guess I missed this story on the big three TV stations. Hopefully they will see it here and do a spectacular and fair investigative story about her thieving ways.
Capital hill period is nothing but a cesspool of corruption. It is sad that the Clinton's got away with the deceit and fraud they've committed. How about the senator that had over 300,000 worth of bounced checks at a bank there? He was never charged prosecuted, zilch.
Because she by far isnt the only one and they want this to go away as fast as possible. She probably could sunk the ship on both sides. She pissed someone off.
Right and did more for Florida over 20yrs then Clinton s lying fake, fronting clown smile face did. Lost and cowarded. Gave the people who supported her rump to kiss.
True and more true exactly why this been low key. They know they d have to do a sweep. She ll be taking care of. She didnt throw others under the bus.
