🚨 Breaking update in the Jackson bribery case: Former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has filed a motion to dismiss the federal charges against him!

In this video, I break down the latest from WLBT (March 11, 2026) – Lumumba is joining and concurring with Hinds County DA Jody Owens' earlier motion, arguing outrageous government conduct and entrapment by the feds. These charges stem from an alleged scheme tied to a downtown convention center hotel project, with Lumumba facing five counts including bribery, fraud, and money laundering over supposed $50K in campaign donations.

The filings are under seal, so details are limited, but this is a major development as the July trial approaches. Is this a real shot at getting the case thrown out, or just more delays in a messy federal probe that's shaken up Jackson politics?

As someone who's been calling out corruption and fighting for transparency in our city for years, I think this raises even more questions about how the investigation was handled. Watch to hear my take on what this means for Jackson moving forward.
