Marilyn Mosby, a former high-profile progressive prosecutor in Baltimore, has been found guilty on federal charges of perjury for falsely claiming that she suffered financial hardship during the pandemic to access early retirement funds from the city under a COVID-19 relief program.
Ms. Mosby, who served two terms as state’s attorney for Baltimore, was found guilty on Nov. 9 of two counts of perjury when, in May 2020 and December 2020, she submitted “coronavirus-related distribution requests” for two withdrawals of $40,000 and $50,000 from City of Baltimore’s Deferred Compensation Plan, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
