Show Notes
Former Missouri House Speaker John J. Diehl Jr. was sentenced to twenty-one months in prison and a fifty thousand dollar fine for wire fraud related to misusing pandemic relief funds. He applied for a loan for his law firm but diverted funds to personal accounts and his retirement plan, even using some for country club dues. Diehls case highlights accountability concerns for public figures during crises and marks the end of a years-long probe into relief program misuse.
