Judge delays start of McMahan trial

A federal judge has agreed to delay the criminal trial of state Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan and his wife, Lori.

The judge on Friday moved the trial from March 3 to June 2.

A federal grand jury indicted the pair last month on nine counts, including conspiracy, mail fraud and violating the Travel Act to commit bribery.

They are accused of accepting improper trips and illegal campaign contributions from a southeast Oklahoma abstract company owner.
