Commissioner Causey urges President Trump not to pardon Greg Lindberg

North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey has sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him not to grant a pardon to Greg Lindberg, who was convicted in an attempt to bribe Commissioner Causey.<_o3a_p>

"Mr. Lindberg's criminal conduct was not incidental, technical, or victimless," Commissioner Causey wrote in his letter. "It was deliberate, sustained, and directly aimed at corrupting a state regulatory system charged with protecting the public in order to enrich himself. During an 18 months-long investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Lindberg was lawfully recorded on a wire attempting to bribe me, in my official capacity as North Carolina Commissioner of Insurance, to remove a senior department official who had identified and exposed serious financial improprieties within Mr. Lindberg's insurance enterprises."<_o3a_p>

Commissioner Causey continued:<_o3a_p>

"The evidence presented was not speculative. It was contemporaneously recorded, exhaustively investigated, and ultimately proven in federal court. Mr. Lindberg's actions were a calculated attempt to undermine regulatory oversight, evade accountability, and silence those whose duty it was to safeguard policyholders, retirees, and working families."<_o3a_p>
