Federal indictment — pending charges; allegations only

Charges and investigations are allegations, not findings of guilt. Criminal defendants are presumed innocent. A completed censure is identified separately from unresolved allegations. Institutions and defendants are linked only where a cited public record describes the relationship; this seed does not infer a broader personal or donor network. Offices and current/former status are labeled as of November 6, 2026.

DOJ announced an indictment alleging theft and laundering of a $5 million FEMA-funded overpayment, illegal campaign contributions, and a false tax return. Federal charges remain pending; she is no longer in the current roster. A resignation is not a criminal conviction. The defendant is presumed innocent.
