Federal prosecutors have recharged former U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, a Republican from Nebraska, on claims he lied to investigators in a campaign finance probe.

Prosecutors had previously charged Mr. Fortenberry with scheming to make and making false statements about a $30,000 campaign donation his campaign had received in 2016.
