FBI spokesman Dave Fitz said FBI and IRS agents were"executing court-authorized search warrants" at"both residences and City Hall." The search warrants are sealed, and Fitz said he couldn't immediately release more information. The mayor's spokesman, James Bentley, said he has no immediate comment. Pugh's defense attorney, Steve Silverman, did not immediately return calls.
Pugh and five of her staffers are now on paid leave amid a scandal over her sales of children's books to entities that do business with the city.
See, at least when we Investigate her she doesn't start bitching and crying and whining, she let's it happen because to do otherwise would be an obstruction of justice... Sadly, not the same case when investigating the President
Who are these people?
whAT DID SHE DO?
So why her and not trump?!
Way to cover up the fact that she is a DEMOCRAT by burying that tidbit in the second to last paragraph. You people are so dishonest!
Was it an early morning raid with CNN conveniently out in front of her home?
Just another crooked politician. smh
Aren’t they searching for her as well?
if she is clean, then she will walk away from this and the FBI will move on to their next suspect. If not, then she is caught and must resign. This is basic accountability.
Good. I hope she goes to jail
Why is realDonaldTrump persecuting Catherine Pugh? This is an outrageous abuse of power! This is literally fascism. I'm shaking right now. I can't even...
