CLEVELAND, Ohio-U.S. HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge (pictured), a former Ohio congresswoman of 13 years who quit Congress and  joined President Joe Biden's cabinet in March of 2021 shortly after he took office, is stepping down at the end of this month as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, she announced on Monday

The second Black woman to lead HUD, Fudge's announcement came as a surprise to many and answered the question of whether she would remain on if Biden were to win reelection in a November presidential election rematch with former President Donald Trump, whom he ousted to originally win the White House in 2020.

A Democrat like Biden, Fudge said that she is retiring as a public servant and coming back to her home state of Ohio, and before what she purportedly called a crazy, silly election for president.

"The people HUD serves are those who are often left out and left behind," Fudge, 71 and also a former Warrensville Hts, Ohio mayor, said in a statement. "These are my people. They serve as my motivation for everything we have been able to accomplish."

"Her people,"say sources, include Black people who are disproportionately homeless and Blacks who are at the top of the list when crooked banks and mortgage companies like JPMorgan Chase Bank steal their homes via illegal foreclosures and corrupt judges like Common Pleas Judge John O'Donnell, including in Cuyahoga County, which includes both Cleveland and Warrensville Hts. Those who complain are threatened and routinely prosecuted by the county prosecutor's office on malicious criminal charges. public records reveal as community activists seek intervention by the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI.

An investigation reveals that Judge O'Donnell has stalked Black women who's homes he has stolen for Chase Bank and has allegedly used fellow and other judges, city officials and corrupt police to help him try to destroy them if they complain or expose him. He has lost three bids for the Ohio Supreme Court and has had police break into the homes of Blacks and activists who did not support him to steal their personal property, court records and county grand jury indictment transcripts released in malicious criminal cases by crooked judges like Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo show.
