As the country anxiously awaits the upcoming November midterms, federal investigators looked backward at a string of crimes allegedly committed by a politician dating back to the 2018 elections and beyond. The government recently met the required burden of proof and charged a former Democratic representative with multiple fraud schemes totaling more than $3 million.
On August 16, the Department of Justice issued a press release announcing that California’s Eastern District Court unsealed a 28-count indictment against former US Rep. Terrance Cox. Federal prosecutors charged the 59-year-old with 27 criminal counts, including wire fraud and campaign contribution fraud.
