A federal jury on Thursday convicted Marilyn Mosby, a progressive prosecutor and twice-elected Democrat, on two counts of perjury, crimes committed in 2020 while she served as Baltimore City State’s Attorney.

When Mosby, now 42, was indicted in January 2022, prosecutors alleged that she lied on applications submitted to Nationwide in May and December 2020 as part of an effort to withdraw funds from her 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan — her city retirement account — under the falsehood that she needed a total of $90,000, under the CARES Act, to offset “adverse financial consequences” brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The indictment included four counts, two for perjury and two more for allegedly filing false mortgage applications. In its statement on the perjury convictions, the U.S. Department of Justice noted that the mortgage application charges are part of a separate pending federal case related to Mosby’s Florida vacation homes in Kissimmee and Long Boat Key.
