LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced 13 charges against former House Speaker Lee Chatfield, including embezzlement from a nonprofit.
Lee Chatfield, who briefly served as Southwest Michigan First CEO, has been under investigation for alleged involvement in a criminal enterprise, as well as claims of embezzlement, bribery and campaign finance violations.
Lee Chatfield and his wife, Stephanie Chatfield, are facing charges in connection to the alleged misuse of a 501c4 fund titled the "Peninsula Fund," which is a social welfare organization, Nessel said.
Nessel referred to these 501c4 nonprofit accounts as "commonly political dark money dumping sites" that can accept unlimited contributions from corporations and individuals without publicly disclosing any of their donors or paying any taxes.
He also allegedly illegally converted funds to his own personal use funds from his own electoral political action committees, The Chatfield Majority Fund and The Chatfield Majority Fund 2, and the state budget of the Michigan House of Representatives, according to Nessel.

Don't be a Republican in Michigan, or you'll be sorry!
When this dyke got elected they passed a bill to keep from running wild once she took office. The rino Governor vetoed it on his last day in office.
Oh, that's right...wrong party.
Guilty!
Isn’t this the moron that would not even allow a hearing on election fraud?
They had their own Clinton Foundation
She prosecuted Ricky-Rick The Chump, too, if I recall correctly.
A week or so AFTER the stolen 2020 Michigan electoral votes were safely in the bag.
A certain Chilean leader knew how to negotiate with her kind.
She also buried the Muskegon County ballot shenanigans.
She doesn't investigate Michigan vote fraud because she likes to save the taxpayers money - she already knows all about the vote fraud.
So now democraps are trying to throw all Republicans in jail.
Looks like.
I’m talking about Lee....
Isn’t he the republCAN’T that would not allow any investigation
“She prosecuted Ricky-Rick The Chump, too, if I recall correctly.l”
Yep she tried to hang the flint water fiasco around his neck when it was the rats that ran Flint that caused it. That was her thanks for the favor he did for her.
76th Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives
In office: January 9, 2019 – January 1, 2021
Looks like he might be the guilty party.
Yeah...
That was him...
Wellll, what comes around goes around...
Lock his butt up
