The lawmaker is the third person to be indicted in the kickback scheme.
Alabama State Rep. John Rogers, D-Birmingham, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of obstruction of justice and one count of obstruction of justice by bribery, court records dated Sept. 26, 2023 show. Rogers is pictured here on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, at the State House in Montgomery, Ala. .
“I wouldn’t do anything that crazy,” he added in a phone interview with AL.com on Wednesday evening. “I wouldn’t do anything that stupid. This is going to be a royal affair. I’ll enjoy kicking their ass.”The charges stem from misuse of money from the Jefferson County Community Service Fund, money that was intended to support the nonprofit Piper Davis youth baseball league, according to the indictment.
“I just received a copy of the indictment and haven’t yet gone over it in-depth. I contacted Representative Rogers to let him know about the indictment,” Robbins said. “We intend to vigorously defend him on these charges.”
