Attorney Steven Silverman reads a written statement from embattled Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who faced investigation into payments she received for the self-published children’s book series that she sold to companies with business before the city.

Catherine Pugh became the second Baltimore mayor in a decade to quit in connection with a criminal investigation. Democratic Mayor Sheila Dixon resigned in 2010. The charges stemmed from alleged corruption on the part of the mayor Sheila Dixon involving gifts she allegedly received and gift cards she allegedly stole.
