CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) A federal grand jury has indicted multiple people in connection with an ongoing investigation involving donations made to the North Carolina Republican Party.
NCGOP Chairman Robin Hayes, who spent a decade in Congress representing a district that stretched from the Charlotte area to Fayetteville, surrendered himself to authorities and made a first appearance at the US Courthouse in Charlotte on Tuesday.
The charges center around a wealthy Durham businessman named Greg Lindberg, who has been under the microscope of federal investigators for white collar crimes related to his business empire and, later, for contributions he made to politicians in North Carolina.
Hayes and Lindberg were both indicted Tuesday on charges related to honest services wire fraud for attempting to bribe NC Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey. Causey is not being charged.

Standing under that umbrella of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, we were shielded from the rain. So you decided that it was time to throw it away. Now the federal dockets are jammed with case after case of voting rights discrimination because Roberts thought all that racism and prejudice was gone forever.
Asshole.
I really hope re-insitution of the full Voting Rights Act follows the 2020 elections.
