Federal prosecutors allege that Mosby twice lied in 2020 when she claimed COVID-19 related financial hardships, in order to withdraw $90,000 from her City Deferred Compensation Plan.
Mosby then bought two homes in Floridafor a combined $918,900.
Prosecutors say she also failed on the mortgage applications to disclose over $45,022 of debt owed to the IRS at the time.
Mosby's attorney, A. Scott Bolden, says she is innocent and has called the investigation a politically motivated witch hunt.
