Dolton politician’s cancer charity got almost all of its reported money from taxpayers

After months of silence, a representative of the Tiffany Henyard Cares Foundation finally responded to the Illinois Attorney General’s demand for records. But the filing was incomplete and lacked key records that would should how it collects and spends money.

Fbi is going to send her to federal prison.

@susanhurst3292

Isn't this illegal? This mayor is awful!!

@TickTock-jo4to

She'll be in prison.

@billmurphy1335

she cares about herself and nothing else

@gmr7494

Sick sick sick sick. How is she not in prison yet

@BrokenBarBox

This is seriously the best story/guilty pleasure of 2024 to follow. You just know right now, she’s in her little evil lair thinking…” I may have an idea how to collect the insurance money when the city orphanage burns down….”

@stuartdryer1352

Sounds like a crime to me.

@mohawkin

Keep on it WGN! Good work!

@rickmus2

why does it take long to throw obvious crooks with obvious evidence into jail in this country?

@phillysauto4724

Who is WORSE TIFFANY OR THE PEOPLE WHO OBEY HER

@FromMikaWithLove

Ben Bradley ain't taking his foot off her neck and I love it lol

@spencers4121

The really shocking thing about this story, she's pulling in $300K a year from what I heard from what she does. Probably more money then she has ever seen in her life, and yet throws it all away to do this and risk going to prison.

@claudettes9697

She is audacious.

@jasonluong3862

She has been caught red handed so she now claims she has nothing to do with the charity. That doesn’t change the fact the money has to come from somewhere. Financial crimes are the easiest to prove because the prosecution does not need to prove motive and intent, just that a crime has been committed. One way or another, someone is going to jail for embezzlement.

@rmilldawg

The layers of this story never end 😂😂

@paintediva

I don't even live in that town and this lady's blatant bullying, gaslighting and god complex makes me angry. I hope y'all get a grip on her with a quickness! Blessings from Arizona.

@InsideLookingOut99

This woman going to jail. She thinks real life is like social media where she can get away with saying anything.

@forrestmonarch7577

What more do they need? Fire her already

@paulc6471

Wait, I thought she said she has no involvement with this besides her endorsement, her face and image, and her pushing it publicly

@tommylucero2931

I would be investigating the police department since they are following here orders , that she has no authority over the police department
