3. Edwin Edwards
This politician is a former Louisiana governor who served four terms. The timeline of his political career goes as follows: From 1965 until 1972, Edwards was the United States Representative for Louisiana’s 7th congressional district. Then he became governor in 1972 and served two terms in a row until 1980. Edwards subsequently served again from 1984 until 1988. Then, lastly, from 1992 until 1996.
He was a popular governor, but he was also one of America’s most deceitful politicians. He appeared unstoppable in court, having defeated 24 distinct accusations against him since the beginning of his career in the 1970s. But his luck ran out on the 25th case. It seems like 25 was not his lucky number.
A federal grand jury accused him in 1998 of extorting millions of dollars in bribes for state casino licenses. And as a consequence, he was convicted on 17 charges and imprisoned for more than 8 years. But if you think that made him end his political career, you are wrong. Edwatss was teased to be in the spotlight again, and as a result, he attempted one more political return in 2014, at the age of 87.

Trump is the MOST corrupt politician EVER!!!!!!
1000% correct!
really? so corrupt he didn’t even take payment for being president. My business prospered under Trump. I lost 30K a year and had to lay off 8 men under biden. our nation is flooded with illegals that have raised crime. we spent billions on Ukraine that can’t be accounted for. I doubt you see what corruption is.——– I, Grampa
Just because Trump said he wouldn’t accept payment doesn’t mean he didn’t. He’s been a conman all of his life. He criticized Obama for spending too much time playing golf, then played twice as much in 4 years. He thinks dying in war makes you a loser.There’s a reason Putin wants Trump to be president.
Completely agree. Trump makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.
Trump is Golden. He brings what he has with him to the White House. He lavishly supplies our armed service men so they can protect our country and he treats them with the respect they deserve. He brings about law and order. He uses common sense to negotiate with foreign countries. He seals our borders so drug Lords get caught saving millions of American lives while preserving their better judgement. Trump knows that druggies can’t help themselves or their country.
You forgetting your friend Joseph Biden Suzanne? Be real!
Open your eyes, Trump never took a paycheck, worked tirelessly 18 hours a day. Was condemned for playing one round of golf. Had the Dems constantly at his throat. Trump made everyone’s life better. Just looking at our child sniffing, old relic that has lived off the backs of Americans for half a century and never did anything to make our lives better. My challenge to you is watch a few hours of Fox for the truth. And please get your facts before criticizing someone.
That’s your problem. Fox News is responsible for brain-washing millions of Americans to believe the lies that you listed.
Boy, are you in for a biiiiiiiig surprise when you find out just how corrupt Biden and his family really are? It seems you only listen to or watch the MSM which is the left arm of the Democrat party. Many people in our country will be shocked to the core when they learn the truth.
How can you over look the Clintons and Bidens. There are 71 mysterous deaths a ruled suicides surounding the Clintons. 71 how many suicides do you personally know. Bidens have been selling out America to Russia, China for big money last count $30 million. Biden had a Ukrainian investigator fired for investing his corrupt son or he would not hand over the money for support promised by Obama. Can you spell extortion. Funny how you over look that. Not to mention the Russia Hoax about Trump that didn’t happen and was set up by Hilary. Not to mention the Clinton & Biden child molestation
Suzanne, you forgot the guy in DC, the current president. I think most every politician in DC had swallowed the “All for me ” pill and how they can benefit their own bank account.
Wow. Biden has done more for the American people in two years than his predecessor did in 4 years. Tell me one thing 44 did for the benefit of the American people. I’ll wait.
Yea he has put a million people out of work and flooded our country with illegals that cost us billions to support. weaponized the FBI the CIA and other agencies. the benefits of 44? well, start with nearly complete employment. under 4 percent unemployment is considered full. he lowered taxes and made it possible for many to buy homes. Our food prices were lower as well as fuel. he started no wars and brought our servicemen home so they were not killed to protect useless and ungrateful nations. But nothing I would say will change your mind. try putting either one of your functioning brain cells to work and become a productive citizen.———- I, Grampa
If you have knowledge of any crimes committed by Biden, give us the details. PUT UP OR SHUTUP!!
How about the ones he admitted to that were recorded on video? ——-I, Grampa
100%
Trump haters always say BS like that, but can never back it up with examples. So, go fly a kite!
Trump never did anything but Biden sure did. Biden took bribes and sold out America to China in return.
Really?!? Prove it!!!

What are you smoking?
I guess you’re not paying attention, lol. Hunter is the first of the biden crime family to be indicted, many more to follow indluding corn pop’s buddy!
HOW??? Please give examples!!!
Why isn’t he on this list then? Name one thing that he did that was “corrupt” while holding office.
So wrong. He didn’t even take a pay check. He and his children are sqeaky clean. Otherwise with all the investigations they would have found something. On the other hand, Biden and his son are totally. Corrupt.
Your ignorance is bliss for you.
And you know this how?——- I, Grampa
You must not know or have watched Joe Biden then Suzanne !!!
OK,…Nagin was convicted of 20 outta’ 21 charges but there’s no mention of his jail time..[if any] Why ? Also be prepared to put Joe Biden as your #1 crooked politician. With all the proveable/accurate evidence that’s being amassed, if he’s not indicted, impeached and wearing orange by the end of `24, we no longer have a Judicial system or our USA.
There was once a statement made by a politician that said “If I’m elected, there will be a chicken in every pot!”
Tell the public what they want to hear. Tell them at least one very, very, big lie, and repeat it at every opportunity, and the down trodden, and unfortunate populace that feel cheated will believe almost anything!!!
That type of politician, I guarantee, will rob and cheat you blind.
How can you have a list of the most corrupt politicians ever and not include Joe Biden?
Biden family is the worst..get him out!!
When you have people who have possibly 4 indictments looming over him and he still is running for President, his party is afraid of what he can do to them if they oppose himm something is wrong When do Republicans wake up and dump him. I have changed my affiliation to independent I will vote for who I think will change the HATE, RACISM, and over all lawness going on. I hope enough people will join that URGE We are better than that and deserve that from the people elected.REL
Suzanne, why exactly is Trump corrupt? Please be very specific and give examples?
Exactly name the things he did that was corrupt! He cared for and fulfilled everything he promised to us. What is wrong with you! You are not a good judge of character knowing who is your president right now that’s what you call corruption.
Trump= 91 counts
Buden= 0 counts
Enough said?
You left out Donald J Trump. Impeached 2 times and currently facing 91 felony counts on state and federal charges.
trump is the most corrupt person ever!!!!!!
Let’s not forget Obama s d the Clinton’s!
Nope! Been trying to prove that for about 6-7 yrs now & haven’t been able to.
Trump is the ONLY one to take on the FAR, FAR, FAR LEFT – Politicians – Democrats OR Republicans! The Biden Administration is a Disgrace!!! Wake up! Don’t let your dislike for Trump cloud your head for saving this Country.
….said Vladimir Putin.
I would like to know why every Senator leaves office with much wealth. As far as who is the most corrupt politician? What difference does it make who is the most corrupt. Corruption is corruption. Good Lord!
Donald Trump is the worst of the worst.He has been convicted 34 times for fraud and no telling what
else. And now he running for president,what a sham. I pray that gets defeated.
