Sen. Katrina Robinson, D-Memphis, is facing another round of federal charges for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, the Associated Press reports. The new charges come six-months after Robinson was indicted on federal charges that she stole more than $600,000 in grant money from the health care school she directed to pay for her wedding and honeymoon, a Jeep Renegade for her daughter, her children’s snow cone business and more. She has pleaded not guilty to the original case, which is scheduled for trial on Sept. 13. If convicted, Robinson faces a possible sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison in each case. Robinson would be up for reelection in 2022.
