Another Purple State Democrat Congresswoman Gets Indicted for Massive Fraud

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, speaks during a news conference following the weekly Senate Democrat policy luncheon...

Former Democratic Georgia Rep. Karen Bennett resigned effective Jan. 1, 2026, days before facing federal charges alleging that she fraudulently obtained nearly $14,000 in COVID-19 pandemic unemployment benefits by falsely claiming her in-home physical therapy work was disrupted, while her role was actually administrative and conducted from home and unaffected.

Yet further, prosecutors say she hid weekly church income of $905. She has pleaded not guilty and was released on bond. This marks the second Georgia House Democrat charged with similar pandemic fraud, following Rep. Sharon Henderson.

In any case, the charging documents, from the U.S. District  Court in Atlanta, laid out the facts. The document read, “Before the pandemic her actual role with Metro Therapy was an administrative one and she worked from her home office; she did not provide in-home services for clients.”

Continuing, the same source revealed, “She was not prohibited from reaching her home office because of the pandemic. She was able to continue working as usual from her home to support Metro Therapy throughout the pandemic, and the therapists who provided actual services to clients were able to continue their work after a brief disruption.”
