All of this follows a NewsChannel 5 investigation in November 2023 that raised questions about Ogles’ claims to have personally loaned $320,000 to his campaign in 2022 during his first run for the 5th District congressional seat. Ogles’ personal financial disclosures did not reflect the ability to loan his campaign such a large amount.
This past May, Ogles amended his campaign financial reports, admitting that he had only loaned the campaign $20,000.
In August, following another report by NewsChannel 5 Investigates, Ogles acknowledged that FBI agents had executed a search warrant to seize his personal cell phone as part of some unspecified investigation.
