Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) was indicted on Tuesday, accused of concealing information and making false statements to federal authorities who were investigating illegal contributions to his 2016 campaign, the Justice Department announced.
A federal grand jury indicted Fortenberry, who has served in Congress since 2005, on one count of “scheming to falsify and conceal material facts” and two counts of “making false statements to federal investigators looking into illegal contributions.”
