Marilyn Mosby's Social Media Accounts, Campaign Website Go Dark

BALTIMORE, MD — If you're hoping to check out the latest social media posts from Baltimore's top prosecutor, good luck with that. Marilyn Mosby appears to have deleted or deactivated her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts as of Monday.

A quick Google search shows her campaign website is offline as well; however, her Mosby 2021 Legal Defense Fund remains active.

The move comes as Mosby prepares to head back to federal court Feb. 23.

The 42-year-old is facing federal charges of perjury and making false mortgage applications, relating to the purchases of two vacation homes in Florida, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Following her indictment on the charges Jan. 13, she said she was innocent and would fight the charges in court.

"We're going to be asking for a speedy trial within 60 days," her attorney, A. Scott Bolden, said at the time.

It's unclear why Mosby shut down her accounts; however, political analyst John Dedie told WBFF-TV that it could indicate that she may be getting ready to take a plea arrangement.

“The federal government had to turn over the evidence they have on her. Her lawyers have that now. They have that in front of them and they know where this road is headed, and they may have made a decision last week to say you know what this isn’t looking good maybe we need to enter a plea negotiation,” Dedie told the news station.

If convicted, Mosby faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for each of two counts of perjury and a maximum of 30 years in federal prison for each of two counts of making false mortgage applications.

Mosby was elected as Baltimore State's Attorney in 2014 and re-elected in 2018.
