State Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, was indicted and charged with violating federal campaign finance laws in an effort to support his unsuccessful 2016 bid for Congress.
Federal prosecutors announced the indictment Monday. Kelsey maintained his innocence, saying he is the victim of “a political witch hunt.”
The indictment also charged Joshua Smith, the owner of The Standard social club, with participating in the alleged scheme.
