Fox News
Republican former Nebraska Rep. Jeff Fortenberry has been charged with lying to federal authorities about an illegal, $30,000 campaign contribution by a Nigerian billionaire.
A grand jury in the nation's capital indicted Fortenberry on Wednesday on two counts: falsifying and concealing material facts and making false statements.
Chad Kolton, a spokesman for Fortenberry, said the case should not have been brought in the first place and should not be pursued again after the 9th Circuit ruled in his favor.
