BALTIMORE — Roy McGrath, who briefly served as former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s chief of staff, did not appear in court Monday for the beginning of his trial on federal fraud charges.
U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Boardman issued a warrant for McGrath’s arrest and, with jury selection set to begin imminently, dismissed jurors.
Originally scheduled to go on for several weeks, the trial is expected to be postponed to a later date while federal authorities search for McGrath.
