Rogers, 82, is charged with two counts of obstruction of justice, and his assistant Varrie Johnson Kindall is charged with conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice and tax charges. Prosecutors first announced charges against Kindall last month."I'm pretty confident that I'm going to be cleared. Looking forward to my day in court," Rogers wrote in a text to The Associated Press.
Rogers is the second lawmaker arrested in connection with the investigation. Former Rep. Fred Plump Jr. pleaded guilty to conspiracy and obstruction charges in part of a plea deal with prosecutors. The money came from the Jefferson County Community Service Fund, a pot of tax money distributed by area lawmakers for projects in the county.
