Rep. Corrine Brown was found guilty on Thursday of taking money from a charity that was purported to be giving scholarships to poor students.
On dozens of occasions, Simmons said he was told to take out of One Door's account the maximum $800 from an ATM near his house and deposit hundreds of it in Brown's personal account. Sometimes he kept some for himself.
Brown testified in her own defense, saying she was left in the dark about the goings-on with One Door's money, and blamed the theft on Simmons. Brown said she left those details to Simmons and other hired staffers, and said she should have paid more attention to her personal and professional finances.
Corrine Brownâs daughter Shantrel Brown is a lawyer by profession and owned a law firm , which was geared towards Government relations. She later joined Alcalde & Fay as a partner. She previously worked as a political appointee during the Clinton administration for over five years with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances.
Corrineâs life revolved around political controversies. She was facing 22 federal charges in her corruption trial, 18 of which she was found guilty. Originally, her tax exasion charges merely accusations, many of which surrounded her funnelling thousands of dollars from her charity into her own bank account. After an investigation into the charity, One Door for Education Foundation Inc., it was discovered that funds raised were going into Brown and her associatesâ pockets, instead of to the poor student who canât afford scholarships, as the charity was meant for.
Corrine is dubbed as one of the poorest Congress members. She even made it to the list of the â25 of the Poorest Congress Members!â The latest figures cannot be determined as some media outlets believe her net worth â can be close to zero, or certainly not anything substantial.â
In 1992 Corrine Brown was part of the first group of African-American lawmakers elected to the United States House of Representatives from Florida since 1877.
