Bernie Sanders wife is in deep troubleand could be facing jail time, thanks to an FBI investigation into a college she once ran. Jane OMeara Sanders was the president of the now-defunct Burlington College in Vermont from 2004 to 2011. The college closed in May 2016.
Towards the end of her tenure, OMeara Sanders spent $10 million to acquire 32 acres of property from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, in order to increase the colleges footprint. In order to secure the $10 million, she took a $3.65 million loan from the diocese, and a $6.7 million loan from Peoples United Bank.
In order to secure the loan, OMeara Sanders is accused of fraudulently presenting the colleges financial strength.
