TED DIBIASE JR. TRIAL UNDERWAY

By Mike Johnson on 2026-01-07 12:20:00

Jury selection was completed yesterday in the Ted DiBiase Jr. criminal trial.

The trial officially began this morning with prosecutors giving their opening statements.  

As we have covered in recent years, the third-generation star is accused of conspiring to fraudulently obtain $3.5 million in federal funds intended for families in need.

Federal prosecutors alleged that the former WWE star received money tied to welfare programs through sham contracts for services that were never provided.

The trial is expected to last three weeks.
