Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton appears before federal grand jury investigating corruption
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton is preparing to testify before a federal grand jury looking into corruption on Capitol Hill.
Sexton, R-Crossville, arrived at the U.S. Courthouse in downtown Nashville shortly before 1 p.m. Monday, just a few minutes after director of legislative administration Connie Ridley. Both had been subpoenaed to appear.
It is believed that the grand jury is focused on a shadowy company that handled political and taxpayer-funded mailings for Republican lawmakers in 2020. Rep. Robin Smith, R-Hixson, recently resigned and pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges, admitting that she and former House Speaker Glen Casada received "kickbacks" in exchange for steering business to that company.
