Democrat Massachusetts lawmaker arrested for fraud, used stolen funds to purchase ''psychic services'': feds
[NYPOST] A federal grand jury has indicted a Massachusetts Democrat for allegedly stealing tens of thousands of dollars from a construction trade association he ran — and using the cash to pay off campaign debts and purchase a clothes dryer, air conditioner, dress shirts and ''personal psychic services.''You'd think he'd see this coming? State Rep. Christopher Flanagan raked in between $60,000 and $80,000 in salary as executive director of a Home Builders Association (HBA) on Cape Cod — but was on a tight budget as he began his 2022 campaign for the Bay State legislature. In the indictment handed up by a Boston grand jury Thursday, prosecutors alleged that Flanagan stole $36,000 from the trade association for personal expenses between November 2021 and January 2023 — including $974.94 for an electric dryer and air conditioner, $1,050.30 for menswear at Macy's and $92.86 at Target.
