       SUMMARY - Former St. Louis lawyer and former Republican Missouri
       House Speaker John J. Diehl Jr. was sentenced Monday in federal
       court in St. Louis to 21 months in prison and fined $50,000
       after pleading guilty to wire fraud for misusing $379,900 in
       federal COVID-19 relief loans intended to help small businesses
       during the pandemic.
       NOTE - Diehl's resignation from politics is not elaborated upon
       in the article and some may misappropriate the resignation with
       the Covid-19 relief loan. Instead, he resigned from office due a
       prior scandal unrelated to his Covid-19 relief fund activities.
