A former Kansas state lawmaker was indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday on charges that he attempted to defraud the government on several levels of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of COVID-19 relief funding.
Kansas state Rep.Michael Capps , 43, was indicted on more than a dozen counts of making a false statement, bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. The U.S. attorney's office in Kansas said in a statement that Capps is accused of defrauding federal, state, and local agencies of more than $450,000 in COVID-19 business recovery funds.
