Former Rep. Corrine Brown (D., Fla.) blamed the federal corruption and conspiracy charges against her on redistricting and racism. In a Wednesday interview with Summer Knowles of WESH2 news, Brown claimed her reputation was ruined.
"They have just taken my name and destroyed it. My name is all I have," she said.
Brown said she will plead not guilty to the charges centering around a charity called One Door Education. The charity was supposed to give scholarships to students, but investigators say it was used as a personal fund for Brown, her chief of staff, and the charity's president, according to WESH2 News.
