Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith faces grand jury probe over payroll fraud and a deepfake video of a lawmaker’s wife.

Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith is under investigation by a Marion County grand jury over allegations of payroll fraud and the distribution of an AI-generated deepfake video depicting the wife of a state representative. The probe, which began in August, examines claims of ghost employees and improper use of intimate images, with a former staffer alleging the video was shown in the office. While Beckwith’s office denies knowledge of the video’s creation or viewing, the investigation remains ongoing, and no charges have been filed. The Indiana Attorney General’s office is reviewing the matter, but details are limited due to grand jury confidentiality.
