The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced charges filed against former Obama White House adviser Seth Andrew for stealing $218,000 from a charter school he founded. According to prosecutors, Andrew used the funds to lower his interest rate on a luxury apartment in Manhattan.

Prosecutors claim Andrew established “School Network-1,” a series of New York City-based charter schools, in 2005. He left the post in 2013 to work in the Obama administration’s Department of Education and later as a senior adviser in the Office of Educational Technology at the White House.
