Ted DiBiase Jr. faces federal fraud charges over $2M in misused Mississippi welfare funds, with trial resuming Feb. 24, 2026.
Ted DiBiase Jr.’s federal welfare fraud trial resumed on February 24, 2026, after a month-long delay due to his lead defense attorney’s hospitalization.
DiBiase, a former wrestler, faces 13 counts including wire fraud and money laundering, accused of misusing over $2 million in Mississippi welfare funds through sham contracts to buy a boat and home.
Prosecutors say the contracts were fraudulent, while the defense argues a mistrial should have been granted due to the sudden change in legal representation, a request denied by the court.
Former DHS director John Davis testified, stating he believed DiBiase provided legitimate services and did not intend the funds to be stolen.
The trial continues with more witnesses expected, potentially extending into April.
