Sounds like an all-around sleazebag.
Former Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield led a “criminal enterprise” while in office, Attorney General Dana Nessel alleged Tuesday as she announced 13 charges against the Levering Republican and two charges against his wife.
But Chatfield won’t be charged for sexual assault allegations that prompted the probe, according to Nessel.
She said her office did not uncover evidence to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” accusations by his former sister-in-law.
The charges filed Tuesday focus on Chatfield’s heavy use of nonprofit and political action committee funds, which Nessel alleges the former lawmaker used for a “variety of separate financial schemes to line his own pockets.”
