North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson will donate more than $93,000 in money he received from a recently-indicted businessman to local charities
Republican Rep. Richard Hudson is donating a portion of the contributions that his political committees received from a recently-indicted businessman in North Carolina, the latest fallout from a federal corruption scandal that has roiled the state's GOP.
The North Carolina lawmaker plans to give $15,000 of the more than $93,000 he took in from Greg Lindberg to several different local charities benefiting soldiers at Fort Bragg, which is in his district. The GOP lawmaker says he didn't do anything wrong, but just wants to avoid the appearance of any impropriety.Lindberg, founder and chairman of Eli Global and the owner of Global Bankers Insurance Group, was indicted Tuesday on charges of public corruption and bribery, along with former Rep.
The unsealed criminal indictment also alleges that Lindberg, a huge political donor who has made contributions to both parties, donated $150,000 to a committee controlled by “Public Official A”, who POLITICOas Rep. Mark Walker . Around the same time Lindberg made the contribution to Walker’s committee, which had been created four days earlier, he allegedly asked Walker to help pressure Causey to make the personnel move.
Walker, who was not charged in the probe and denies any wrongdoing, has pointed out that the money Lindberg gave to his joint fundraising committee did not benefit his campaign, but went to the Republican National Committee.
