Simmons, who was Brown’s former chief of staff, pleaded guilty to charges connected to the One Door for Education charity, that became a slush fund for Brown.

Brown was released from prison in April after serving less than half of her five-year sentence after her attorney argued she was especially vulnerable to coronavirus.
