The planned, publicized, expected resurfacing of former D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown didn’t happen Wednesday.
Brown, who resigned on June 6 after federal prosecutors charged him with bank fraud, had been scheduled to speak about certified business enterprises at an event organized by the Washington Industry Development Council.
Warner Session, whose Connecticut Avenue law firm was to play host for the event, told reporters that the WIDC had canceled the event without giving a reason.
A phone number for the group, listed on the organization’s website, has been disconnected.
Brown will be sentenced in September on the felony bank fraud charge, as well as a misdemeanor campaign finance violation. Under the terms of his plea agreement, he faces up to six months in prison on the fraud charge.
Since speaking to reporters on June 8 – the day he entered his pair of guilty pleas – outside U.S. District Court, Brown has all but disappeared from public life.
He has posted on Twitter on several occasions, including a July 25 tweet about karma that featured a quote from “Princess.”
“No need for revenge,” the photo Brown posted said. “Just sit back and wait. Those who hurt you will eventually screw up themselves, and if you’re lucky, God will let you watch.”
