Marilyn Mosby Indictment Grows; Trial Date Is Set

BALTIMORE, MD — More information is coming out in the case against Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby.

Mosby entered a not guilty plea Friday, Feb. 4, on federal charges of perjury and making false statements on mortgage applications.

Federal prosecutors issued a superseding indictment Thursday, March 10, that drilled down into some of the statements it pinpointed as false in her application for a condominium in Longboat Key, Fla.

In a letter submitted by her loan broker to the mortgage company as part of her pitch to buy a second home in Longboat Key, Fla., Mosby said she had spent the past 70 days living in the Sunshine State with her family in their vacation house in Kissimmee, Fla.

To close on the Longboat Key condo, Mosby needed nearly $35,700 in liquid assets, according to the indictment, which said she had about $31,000 at the time, which was Jan. 25, 2021.

Prosecutors said she claimed her husband was giving her a $5,000 gift at closing that would cover the disparity and would come from his MECU account.

Two days before closing, officials said Mosby herself wired her husband the $5,000. At the time, he had less than that amount in his checking account, and authorities said he moved the money from his wife from his checking to savings accounts before moving it back into checking and sending it to the escrow agent.

Prosecutors allege Mosby filed a gift letter so she could lock in a smaller interest rate for the mortgage of the $428,400 condo despite the fact that the money was not a gift from her husband.

The indictment states Mosby did the following:

• In December 2020, she lied about having spent the past 70 days in Florida.
• On her mortgage applications, Mosby failed to disclose that she had any federal liens, despite knowing that she owed money to the government, prosecutors said. The Internal Revenue Service placed a lien against all property and rights to property belonging to Mosby and her husband in March 2020 due to $45,022 in unpaid taxes the couple owed the IRS.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby is slated to preside over Mosby's trial on May 2 at the federal courthouse in Baltimore.
