Convicted felon, former US Rep. Corrine Brown on why she’s running for Congress again
One month after pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion, longtime U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown filed to run for Congress again. The former Democratic congresswoman from Jacksonville was facing retrial after her conviction on 18 counts of fraud and corruption was overturned on appeal. As part of the plea agreement with the U.S. Justice Department, Brown was given time served and ordered to pay restitution to the IRS. News 6 anchor Justin Warmoth asked Brown on “The Weekly” what she would tell voters who might be skeptical of her recent legal troubles.
