Screenshot: WCIA NewsAnother corrupt Illinois Democrat family caught with their hands in the till.Urbana Democrat State Representative Carol Ammons and her husband, Champaign County Clerk Aaron Ammons, were indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on multiple felony counts including wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.The indictment lays out a brazen scheme where Ammons allegedly used her campaign committee, Friends of Carol Ammons, to issue overpayments and then took cash kickbacks disguised as “gifts.”At the same time, she used her position as a state lawmaker to steer massive state grants to friendly nonprofits that then put her daughter Titianna Ammons on the payroll, WCIA reported.According to the federal indictment:Carol Ammons allegedly caused campaign funds to be paid to herself and family members through excess checks and then received cash kickbacks to hide the scheme. She also falsely reported expenditures to the Illinois State Board of Elections.She helped secure over $1.6 million in state grants for nonprofits including:Bridgewater Sullivan Community Life Center ($612,000 grant) — where daughter Titianna was paid more than $60,000 as Program Director (Ammons even helped draft her employment contract).Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center (over $1 million in grants) — where Titianna was paid nearly $10,000 as a digital marketing coordinator.Another grant to Hood Vote that also funneled money to the daughter.Prosecutors say Ammons and her daughter received financial benefits in excess of $100,000 through this web of campaign misuse and grant steering between 2017 and roughly 2023.This latest indictment comes just one month after Carol Ammons’ daughter Titianna Ammons was federally indicted in June 2026 on three counts of wire fraud for allegedly collecting COVID-era unemployment benefits while she was being paid by her mother’s campaign and serving as a Champaign County Board member.The indictment gets even uglier. Carol Ammons is accused of lying to an FBI agent in 2024 about her knowledge of the conflicts.Her husband Aaron Ammons allegedly engaged in witness tampering, telling a potential witness the actions were “nothing illegal,” directing them to “muddy the waters” with investigators, using code words, and even passing notes that were later destroyed.They are charged with conspiring to obstruct the federal investigation.View FullscreenSkip to PDF contentThe post Corrupt Illinois Democrat State Rep and County Clerk Husband INDICTED In Mass NGO Kickback and Fraud Scheme — Just Weeks After Daughter Busted For COVID Fraud appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
