From AL.com:

State Sen. E.B. McClain has been named in a 50-count indictment by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy, mail fraud money laundering and bribery involving a program receiving federal money.

U.S. Attorney Alice Martin during a press conference today said McClain used his public office for “personal profit.”

“He worked the ‘pass through grant process not to help his community and those in need of GED training, but to line his pockets with over $300,000,” Martin said.

50 counts!  Dang.  The state of Alabama is already after him for allegedly using grants to line his on pockets.
