Multiple sources confirmed to the WAFB I-TEAM subpoenas were issued to former Mayor Sharon Weston Broome and several Metro Council members this week as the Attorney General’s ongoing corruption probe widens and investigators try to determine who knew what and when.

Sources are telling the I-TEAM Broome, Denise Amoroso, Rowdy Gaudet and Brandon Noel all received subpoenas. Several of them who answered the phone declined to comment.

Sources familiar with the investigation who spoke to us on condition of anonymity said Broome and the council members who received subpoenas today are not targets but are considered subject matter experts who prosecutors are seeking information from.

Two months ago, Former Mayor Sharon Weston Broome’s top aide turned herself in after she was indicted by a special grand jury in February.

So far, there have been multiple indictments tied to alleged kickbacks: Courtney Scott, Veronica Mathis, Councilman Cleve Dunn, CATS former CAO Pearlina Thomas and a number of contractors have been charged.
Get ready for Gravy to come in to defend her

Broome and nine members of the Metro Council who have held seats in the past few years were called to testify this week, said multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
isn't that kind of "everybody"

broome better have a good lawyer and keep her head on a swivel. i hope to god some of these idiots perjure themselves. while this is a state AG investigation (not federal), its likely they'll be asked questions that the state already knows the answers to

When we now have the proof they were funneling St. George money into city funding and had fraud all over the place, how is it exactly a witch hunt?

Someone needs to go back to the Learing Center.

He better worry about defending himself. There’s no way he isn’t involved in this.

They’re absolutely SMEs on funding approval, procedures, and the inner workings of the council
