State police raid home of top Michigan Republicans amid disturbing allegations
On Tuesday, reports came out of Michigan that the home of Republican Lee Chatfield’s former chief of staff was searched by state police.
Rob Minard served under Chatfield, 33, while the latter was speaker of the Michigan House (2019-21). Minard’s wife, Anne Minard, was a longtime Chatfield adviser and treasurer.
State police told reporters that this search was a part of an "ongoing investigation.”
The Detroit News reports that Chatfield’s position at the top of the Michigan GOP developed out of his prolificacy as a fundraiser in the Wolverine State legislature. The large amounts of money Chatfield moved around seem to be the subject of the investigation that led to Tuesday’s raid.
“Political accounts tied to Chatfield directed at least $900,000 in campaign and nonprofit funds to family members, legislative staffers, and organizations they led for wages and consulting fees.”
But it probably gets worse; anyone following Chatfield’s recent media coverage will know that this speculation about financial hokey pokey is the least of his problems.
