A former North Carolina GOP chairman to plead guilty for lying to federal agents conducting a bribery investigation of a major political donor, court documents say

will admit in court that he lied to federal agents conducting a bribery investigation of a major political donor, according to court documents filed Friday.

Lindberg is an insurance and investment firm founder who has been among the state's top political donors in recent years, giving more than $5 million to state and federal candidates and committees since 2016. He favored Republican causes and politicians , but also gave to Democrats. Lindberg's attorney Brandon McCarthy did not respond to an email seeking comment Friday.

An indictment unsealed in April alleges that Lindberg wanted special treatment for his insurance businesses and planned to funnel up to $2 million for Causey's 2020 reelection campaign. The scheme involved a request to replace a department official who had been examining a Lindberg company, according to the indictment.
