| Description | Former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his one-time top aide Cade Cothren have been indicted on federal charges following a months-long corruption investigation.
Both face charges ranging from money laundering to bribery and were arrested Tuesday morning, according to a Department of Justice spokesperson.
Prosecutors allege the pair ran a shadowy political consulting firm fronted by Cothren, operating under a false identity of Matthew Phoenix, to solicit General Assembly business and siphon off kickbacks for personal gain. |
