Federal prosecutors move to drop corruption charges against Andrew Gillum.
TL;DR Summary
Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss the remaining corruption charges against Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor in 2018, after a jury deadlocked on all but one count following a trial earlier this month. Jurors acquitted Gillum of lying to the FBI but could not reach a verdict on more than a dozen fraud and conspiracy charges contending Gillum and his co-defendant diverted tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions for his personal use.
