Andrew Gillum faces trial on 17 counts of fraud and deception.

Andrew Gillum, the former Democratic nominee for Florida governor, is on trial for allegedly committing wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, and lying to the FBI during his campaign. Prosecutors claim that Gillum used campaign funds to pay for personal expenses and illegally received gifts, including theater tickets to "Hamilton." Gillum's defense argues that his involvement with a public relations agency was legitimate and that his brother acted on his own in soliciting donations. The trial also involves alleged lies Gillum told to the FBI about a trip to New York. Gillum faces a maximum of 20 years behind bars for each of the 17 counts of wire fraud and a wire fraud conspiracy count, and a maximum of five years for lying to the FBI.
