A former Chief of Staff for Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has been indicted for allegedly fraudulently obtaining funds from Maryland Environmental Service corporation and illegally recording private conversations with senior Maryland state officials.
According to the six-count federal indictment filed Tuesday, Roy McGrath was appointed by Governor Hogan in 2016 to serve as Executive Director of Maryland Environmental Service (MES), a corporation owned by the State of Maryland to provide environmental services.
McGrath resigned from MES as of May 31, 2020, to become the Governor’s Chief of Staff effective as of June 1, 2020.
The federal and state charges allege that from March 2019 through December 2020, McGrath used his positions as the Executive Director of MES and the chief of staff for Governor Hogan to cause MES to make payments to McGrath, or on his behalf, to which he was not entitled.
