Former Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry to face retrial in February for lying to the FBI about campaign funds.

Former Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry is set to face trial again in February, following the overturning of his previous conviction for lying to the FBI by an appeals court. The appeals court ruled the initial trial should have been held in Nebraska or Washington D.C., rather than California, where the campaign fundraiser occurred. Fortenberry is accused of lying about campaign cash allegedly funneled from a Nigerian billionaire.
