(WITI) Ex-Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says he’s split up with his former business partner, whom Clarke accuses of being a Muslim Brotherhood operative who “duped” him.
Clarke made the announcement in a tweet on Sunday, Aug. 5, in which he also denied being played by alleged Russian agent Maria Butina. FOX6 News previously reported that Butina’s group spent $6,000 on Clarke’s expenses during a 2015 trip to Russia.
“I was DUPED, not by Maria Butina but by @libertylover202 who is HEDIEH MIRAHMADI, reported to be Muslim Brotherhood operative in US government by many. People warned me. All I know is I am distancing myself now,” Clarke tweeted.
Mirahmadi, a lawyer who has worked for the federal government, was Clarke’s business partner at DAC Enterprises.
