BUSTED: Democrat Florida Mayor Arrested In FBI Sting, Took ‘Russian’ Checks

Law enforcement officials in Florida arrested Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper on Thursday after an FBI sting caught her allegedly involved in money laundering and corruption-related activities.

The Broward State Attorney’s Office said that Cooper surrendered on charges of “money laundering, official misconduct and exceeding limits on campaign contributions, all of which are third-degree felonies,” ABC 10 reported. “Prosecutors also charged her with soliciting contributions in a government building, which is a first-degree misdemeanor.”
