Massachusetts state Representative Christopher Flanagan, a Democrat for the First Barnstable District, was indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts in an alleged fraud and cover-up scheme.

Flanagan's lawyer, Greg Henning, confirmed to Newsweek via email that he will appear alongside Flanagan in court on Friday.

Newsweek has also reached out to Flanagan's office and Massachusetts House Democratic leadership via email on Friday.

Why It Matters
Public officials' misconduct undermines public trust, raising concerns about state lawmakers and the legislature.

Flanagan faces potential jail time and removal from office, which would leave the seat vacant until a special election is held.

1. What a misleading Newsweek title!

Implies this was political. It was not.

Flanagan, a 37-year-old Dennis, Massachusetts, resident, was arrested Friday morning after a federal grand jury found him guilty of five counts of wire fraud and one count of falsification of records.

The indictment states that Flanagan served as the executive officer of a Home Builders Association in Cape Cod (HBA) from 2019 to 2024, a trade organization which he is accused of defrauding by secretly withdrawing "tens of thousands of dollars [from]", "entering false information in HBA's financial bookkeeping records," and providing "false and misleading HBA financial information to the HBA Board."

5. Will he end up in El Salvador?

That is the question we should be asking...

[0rganism]

6. Based on his indictments for wire fraud, I'd say even odds for El Salvador or a cabinet position

Now he's qualified for either

7. Nah the El Salvador death camp is for the non-criminals. He will probably get regular prison.

8. Sounds like a cut and dry conviction. There are a-holes in every cross-section of society. But GOP'sters seem master of

all.
