A former candidate for Florida governor, Andrew Gillum, faces 17 counts of fraud and lying to the FBI during his 2018 campaign against now-Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Gillum, who was Tallahassee’s mayor before he ran for governor and was considered a rising star within the Democrat Party, is now on trial in a federal court in Tallahassee. Prosecutors argued that during his run for governor, he committed fraud by using campaign funds to make various purchases.
