Former Connecticut Governor and ex-radio host John Rowland (R) was found guilty in federal court of violating campaign finance laws.  

The Associated Press reports Rowland was convicted “of all seven counts, including conspiracy, falsifying records in a federal investigation, causing false statements to be made to the Federal Election Commission and causing illegal campaign contributions.”

The case “centered around a contract between Rowland and a nursing home chain owned by the husband of 2012 congressional candidate Lisa Wilson-Foley. Rowland's attorneys argued he volunteered for the campaign while receiving $35,000 to consult for her husband's company, but prosecutors said the money was an illegal payment for campaign services.”

Rowland was hired in 2010 as radio show host on WTIC-AM, a CBS Radio affiliate in Farmington, CT. Rowland, who was also convicted in 2004 for taking bribes, did not disclose the illegal payment when he attacked Wilson-Foley's primary opponent on WTIC. His radio show ended in April and he was indicted shortly after.
