In this May 1, 2017 photo, Dr. Tricia Derges poses after a Senate committee hearing at the state Capitol in Jefferson City, Mo. Derges, a Missouri state lawmaker already indicted on 20 charges related to a fraud scheme involving medical treatments, now faces three more charges alleging she fraudulently sought federal funding for COVID-19 services at her southwest Missouri clinics. Federal prosecutors announced Friday, March 26, 2021, that a grand jury returned a superseding indictment this week alleging that Rep. Tricia Derges, a Republican from Nixa, filed claims for nearly $900,000 in federal funding for COVID-19 treatments that were not performed or had already been paid for. (AP Photo/David A.
