In January 2022, Mosby was indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and making false statements on loan applications. The charges stemmed from allegations that she had withdrawn money from a program designed to help people financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. She denied any wrongdoing, and subsequently lost reelection to Ivan Bates. Mosby was convicted on two counts of perjury on November 9, 2023, and on one count of mortgage fraud on February 6, 2024.
According to The Washington Times, Mosby was one of the first social justice prosecutors backed by billionaire George Soros.
