U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch trended worldwide on Twitter Thursday, following the announcement that 16 other FIFA members were being charged with corruption. Among them include the president of the South American confederation, the head of FIFA’s North and Central American and Caribbean governing body, and a former Brazilian FIFA federation head.
Lynch spoke to the media Thursday about the latest charges. Quotes from her speech spread on social media. Many applauded her intensity and determination in the corruption investigation. "The betrayal of trust set forth here is outrageous," Lynch said. The scale of corruption alleged herein is unconscionable. Fourteen other men connected to FIFA were charged in May.
