ATLANTA (AP) — A Republican gubernatorial candidate in Georgia who campaigned in a “deportation bus” has turned himself in to county jail after being indicted on charges including insurance fraud.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports an attorney for state Sen. Michael Williams said Wednesday that the indictment presented a “one-sided story” and Williams would be “out soon” after arranging bond.
The charges stem from a May incident when Williams reported that his campaign office was burglarized. Williams’ campaign manager said then that $300,000 worth of computers used to mine cryptocurrency were taken.
Williams is accused of lying to investigators and making a false insurance claim.
Williams finished last in the five-man Republican gubernatorial primary in May. His campaign was based on loyalty to President Donald Trump and a series of publicity stunts, including the controversial “deportation bus.”
Good one!
WHY are so many people associated or in Trump’s circle end up in prison?
The Republican Party has become a thieves’ bazaar.
Looks like it couldn’t happen to a nicer person. He really meant it when he emphasized how much of a Trump follower he was, right down to the criminal conduct.
Is it possible to be deported to Doofustan?
