Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Daughter Indicted for Alleged Money Laundering

By LEE FERRAN and BRIAN ROSS | ABC News The daughter of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's controversial former pastor, has been accused of laundering money in an alleged $1.25 million fraud led by an ex-police chief in Illinois.

Jeri L. Wright, 47, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday for allegedly accepting $28,000 from former police chief Regina Evans and her husband, ex-police officer Ronald Evans, for Wright's supposed work related to the Evanses' not-for-profit program called We Are Our Brother's Keeper. Approximately $20,000 of that money, however, found its way back into bank accounts controlled by the Evanses, prosecutors said.

According to a release from the Department of Justice, Wright was playing a part in a scheme by the Evanses to misuse a $1.25 million state grant that had been awarded to the not-for-profit program in 2009.

We Are Our Brother's Keeper was supposed to spend the money on training up to 40 participants in bricklaying and electrical work at a Regal Theater also owned by the Evanses, but the indictment alleges that "little, if any, of the training provided in the grant agreement was ever completed."

1.25 million for 40 people. That is over $30k a piece for training. Even if they hadn't stolen it , that would have been a crime.

Remember the media frenzy when “Sarah Palin’s former Son-in-Law’s Mother arrested on drug charges” was in the headlines for days?

It got more ink than Benghazi.
