The mayor has not commented publicly since the indictment was announced. However, an attorney for Warren told WXXI that she is innocent of the charges.
"Her position has not changed one bit and that is she's innocent and that she maintains that she did not intend to violate the law," said Warren's attorney Joseph Damelio."She did not knowingly violate the law and she's anxious to get this process started and she's ready to go to trial." Albert Jones Jr., Warren's campaign treasurer, was also indicted, as well as Rosalind Brooks-Harris, who was the treasurer of a political action committee for Warren.

Warren's office has said she was not informed of the full details of Prude's death until August, roughly five months after he died following an encounter with police. Critics have called that timeline into question. Some have called on Warren to resign.

It took 3 years between accusations of fraud and her indictment. I expect in a few years, AOC and Omar, the waitress and the refugee, will also be indicted.
Oh, Lovely ( couldn’t resist)
Well, she’s Black so she definitely won’t receive equal justice to say, Roger Stone. She is trying to clean up the dirty police and is going to pay the price.
I am doubt that as good member of Democrats party, she will found guilty. Never happened with Democrats
She must be a Democrat, because Republican minions aren’t rushing in to defend (alleged) criminal behavior. Sane folks/non-cultists want to see justice done regardless of ideology.
Typical Democrat money grabber, but she can up her game by case studying the last couple DEM city halls in ATL!
