BALTIMORE — Marilyn Mosby was back on the witness stand Thursday for prosecution cross-examination that turned testy at times.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Zelinsky presented the former Baltimore City State’s Attorney with mortgage documents she signed , under penalty of perjury, where she failed to include a federal tax lien and promised she would not rent out her vacation homes in Florida, which she did anyway.
They also allege she lied about a $5,000 gift she gave to her husband at the time, Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby, to help her close.
Mosby repeatedly blamed her mortgage company for inaccuracies on the forms.
“I did not do anything intentional or commit any kind of perjurous act,” she testified. “…I believed I read it carefully. I did not notice the mistake in my address or the box for my primary residence was checked.”
Mosby said My Easy Mortgage filled out the forms from her credit report “That was their mistake, not mine,” she said.
