Disgraced former Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, who is facing up to 40 years behind bars on perjury and mortgage fraud convictions, wants President Joe Biden to pardon her.
The former Charm City legal eagle was convicted at two separate federal trials of illegally withdrawing $90,000 from her retirement account and lying about it on federal forms — and now wants the White House to make it all go away, she said during an interview on MSNBC.
“I think that’s appropriate,” she told host Joy Reid. “I’m confident that this administration will see past the political sort of attacks and why I’ve been convicted.”
Mosby was first convicted in November of two counts of perjury after she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID pandemic to withdraw money from the city’s retirement system.
In February, she was convicted on one count of mortgage fraud after testifying that she unintentionally lied on loan applications in order to buy two ritzy Florida vacation homes.
She told Reid this week that the case was “an incredibly sobering moment.
“I know that this was politically targeted,” she said. “I know that I have done absolutely nothing wrong, nothing criminal. And to be separated from my children for 40 years as a result of withdrawing $90,000 of my own money, it just makes absolutely no sense. It’s illogical.”
