Former Democratic Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges stemming from a book deal scandal
Appearing in US District Court in Baltimore, Pugh, 69, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts of tax evasion. She pleaded not guilty to seven counts of wire fraud.
For example, Robert Hur, the US Attorney for the District of Maryland, said at a press conference on Wednesday that Pugh arranged for books that were donated to Baltimore City Schools to be delivered to her own office and that way she was able to secure"free inventory" of books she and Brown would use for their own purposes.
