We heard this rumor earlier this year, but this time a family member is confirming on social media. In a tweet last night, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's sister Ayanna Kilpatrick said
"Due to suffering severe health challenges we expect Kwame Kilpatrick to receive a grant for COVID-19 compassionate release from the FBOP this week.

He has served seven of his 28-year sentence on Federal Corruption and Racketeering charges.
Check out the tweet below and Fox 2 Detroit news coverage.
