“Mosby had not experienced adverse financial consequences stemming from the coronavirus as a result of ‘being quarantined, furloughed or laid off’ or ‘having reduced work hours’ or ‘due to lack of childcare’ or ‘the closing or reduction of hours of a business I own or operate,'” the papers read. 

She and her husband Nick Mosby, who is the City Council President, have been under investigation since at least February of last year when the FBI issued subpoenas for records.

Mosby also allegedly lied in order to lower the interest rate when she purchased a home in Kissimmee, Florida. During negotiations for the loan, she allegedly claimed that the Florida residence was a second home even though she had already lined up a management company to utilize it as a short-term rental.

Mosby was sworn in as the 25th State’s Attorney for Baltimore City in 2015, making her the youngest chief prosecutor of any major American city.

She witnessed first-hand impact of trauma associated with crime when her honor-roll cousin was gunned down in broad daylight outside of her home due to mistaken identity, Baltimore state attorney’s website states.
