Independent Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade has been accused of staging a hate crime in order to sway the outcome of the election.
An FBI official told The Daily Wire that Mobolade was referred for prosecution over alleged false statements involving the hoax. Despite his alleged role in the hoax, the Department of Justice declined to pursue the case, citing that he is the city’s first black mayor.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado Matt Kirsch announced that three of the mayor’s supporters were charged in the hate crime hoax.
Newly released court documents obtained by KRDO show that Mobolade, a left-leaning African immigrant, had continuous contact with Derrick Patrick Bernard, one of the suspects, prior to the incident, the day of and after the incident.
