United States Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma, Christopher J. Nassar, announced Friday the August Federal Grand Jury 2025-B Indictments.
These indictments include charges of child pornography, sexual abuse of a minor in Indian Country, fentanyl distribution murders, drug trafficking, intent to distribute methamphetamine, and unlawful reentry by criminal invaders who are apparently dedicated to pillaging throughout North Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond Friday advised Muskogee Public Schools that it was under no constitutional obligation to cancel a community prayer walk earlier this month, and offered assistance to any Oklahoma district that receives a similar demand.
The Muskogee 6th and 7th Grade Academy had scheduled a Back to School Community Prayer Walk for the morning of August 12, the day before classes began. A Wisconsin-based advocacy organization, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), sent the district a letter the day before the event demanding its cancellation. The district canceled the walk, removed the announcements and notified parents.
The FFRF bragged in a press release Friday, August 21 at 9:56 am about their intimidation of the school. The AG Office release arrived that same day at 4:10 pm. Is Drummond on the FFRF email list? The AG does not detail how or when he found out about the issue.

“This was a complex scheme that took money from school children.”
Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector (SA&I) Cindy Byrd Tuesday released the second part of her special audit report for Tulsa Public Schools (TPS). The Governor requested the initial investigation of TPS and approved the continuance of the investigation in response to the findings in the SA&I audit of TPS released last year.
“We found evidence that the TPS Executive Director of Bond and Energy Management, Chris Hudgins, used his position to divert millions of tax dollars to himself and direct contracts to preferred vendors,” Auditor Byrd said. “It appears that for more than ten years, he operated a personal business out of TPS offices on the public’s dime, undermined the bond department’s competitive bidding process, and orchestrated complex financial schemes in cooperation with certain vendors. During that time, he had direct access to and authority over tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.”
Christopher J. Nassar was sworn in as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma on August 14th, 2026, after being nominated by President Donald J. Trump and confirmed by the United States Senate.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma,” said U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Nassar. “I want to thank President Trump, Senator Lankford, Senator Armstrong, and (former Senator) Secretary Mullin for having the confidence in me to serve and protect the citizens of the Northern District. I am grateful for their support throughout the nomination and confirmation process. With the exception of Washington, D.C., federal law enforcement in the Northern District of Oklahoma has a greater responsibility for public safety than any other district in the country. I am excited to lead this office and advance this important mission.”
