FRESNO, Calif. -- A former U.S. congressman from central California was arrested Tuesday by federal agents on wire fraud, money laundering, and campaign contribution fraud charges stemming from"multiple fraud schemes," federal prosecutors said.
Cox, a Democrat, represented the 21st Congressional District from January 2019 to January 2021. The district is in the agriculture-rich San Joaquin Valley and includes Kings County and portions of Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties. Talbert said that between 2013 and 2018, Cox allegedly obtained $1.7 million from funds he solicited from clients and loans he got for his companies and then stole by diverting the money to"off-the-book bank accounts."
Cox also fraudulently obtained a $1.5 million construction loan to develop Granite Park, Talbert said.
