Three top Democrat St. Louis city leaders were indicted by a federal grand jury for taking cash bribes.
Lewis Reed, Alderman President, John Collins-Muhammad, recently resigned 21st Ward Alderman and Jeffrey Boyd, 22nd Ward Alderman, were all accused of taking cash in exchange for political favors and land deals, KMOV reported.
Three people, including the St. Louis Board of Alderman President, have been indicted by a federal grand jury on corruption charges.
The indictment was unsealed Thursday against Board of Alderman President Lewis Reed, 22nd Ward Alderman Jeffrey Boyd and recently resigned 21st Ward Alderman John Collins-Muhammad. They are all accused of getting substantial and numerous cash payments in exchange for political favors and land deals.
Collins-Muhammad is accused of accepting and agreeing to accept cash, campaign contributions, a car and other things of value in relation to two of John Doe's projects and his trucking/hauling company.
Reed allegedly took a stream of cash payments and campaign donations "Intending to be influenced and rewarded in connection with a business, transaction and series of transactions" related to one of John Doe's projects and his company.
Boyd is accused of knowing accepting things of value, including cash and car repairs with the intent of being "Influenced and rewarded." He also allegedly used a cellular phone to commit criminal activity.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
