Former Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum has been indicted on federal charges. Gillum is facing 21 federal charges related to a scheme to seek donations and funnel a portion of them back to him through third parties, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Wednesday. Gillum, 42, and co-defendant Janet Lettman-Hicks, 53, face 19 counts of wire fraud. Gillum is also charged with making false statements to the FBI. The U.S. attorney's office said the pair “conspired to commit wire fraud, by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose.” Lettman-Hicks then used her company to fraudulently give money to Gillum disguised as payroll payments, the office said in a press release.
