After her previous conviction was overturned due to a juror issue, the Department of Justice filed new charges. Corrine Brown agreed to plead guilty to one charge in return for the remaining charges being dropped. She will be sentenced to the amount of time she served under her previous conviction and thus will not return to prison.
S/he must make a restitution of $62,650 to the IRS.
So that pretty much wraps up this long running saga.
A Democrat tax cheat who probably voted to raise taxes.

The other 17 counts against her were dropped as part of a plea deal, and Brown wonât serve any further prison time.
She will have to pay restitution of $62,650 to the IRS.
n 2017, Brown was convicted of wire and tax fraud charges after prosecutors said she used a fake charity as a personal slush fund.
âŚand vs how much did she embezzle from her âslush fundâ? Anybody know?
Check out the privilege on this dirtbag.
In July 2016, Brown and her chief of staff, Elias âRonnieâ Simmons, pleaded not guilty to a 22 count federal indictment in relation to a non-profit charity, One Door for Education Foundation. The indictment included charges of participating in a conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, multiple counts of mail and wire fraud, concealing material facts on required financial disclosure forms, theft of government property, obstruction of the Internal Revenue Service laws, and filing false tax returns.[37]
Federal prosecutors allege the charity was to give scholarships to underprivileged students, but instead acted as the personal slush fund for Brown and her associates. The indictment said that Brown and Simmons âfilled the coffers of Brown and her associatesâ with One Door donations for their personal and professional benefit, totaling $800,000, much of which was deposited in cash to Brownâs personal bank accounts.[38][39]
On May 11, 2017, former congresswoman Brown was convicted on 18 of 22 corruption charges ranging from mail fraud to filing a false federal tax return.[40]
On December 4, 2017, she was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay restitution. She reported on January 29, 2018 to Coleman Federal Correctional Complex in Sumter County, Florida, near Wildwood, to begin her sentence. She appealed her conviction, and collected her Congressional pension until her appeal concluded.[41]
Corrine Brown lost her appeal on January 10, 2020.[42]
Brown was released from prison on April 22, 2020 citing health concerns. Her attorney argued she was at increased risk of COVID-19 because of her age and underlying health conditions.[43]

âŚand she had to return $62.650.00? Thatâs treating her unfairly and borderline âWACISTâ.

She got released from prison (where she continued to collect her congressional pension) because it would be a tragedy if she caught the Kung Flu.
One law for them, another for you.
