Taff indicted for fraud concerning home loan case
Former Kansas politician and campaign fundraiser John Taff is charged with wire fraud and misusing campaign funds in a scheme with Myers National Mortgage. Prosecutors say Taff moved 175000 from campaign accounts to a 300000 check to John D. Myers and his wife, used a title agent to fake a down payment, and filed false loan documents.

If convicted, he faces decades in prison.
