WMAR-2 News' Investigative Reporter Brian Kuebler spoke to Mayor Catherine Pugh's attorney in a live interview moments as he left Pugh's Ashburton home. After spending about an hour and a half talking to Pugh about her options after FBI agents raided her homes, her attorney Steve Silverman shared details about her health and her future as mayor. Silverman said Pugh is in poor physical health. "She just needs to be physically and mentally sound and lucid enough to make appropriate decisions," said Silverman. "She is not fit to make decisions today, she is under doctors care she had a severe case of pneumonia which culminated into a severe case of bronchitis and she is under a tremendous amount of stress which is added to her physical ailments." Silverman says Pugh's health has also affected her decision making and that's the reason she is still on a leave of absence. He said Pugh planned to see her doctor on Friday. "She doesn't have the energy to focus for a period of time in order to make important decisions," said Silverman.
