Libous was indicted on a charge of giving a false statement to the FBI and his arraignment was set for later on Tuesday. A separate indictment was unsealed for Matthew Libous, claiming he failed to report some $280,000 worth of income on his taxes between 2007 and 2011. He was arraigned Tuesday on a single count of obstructing the Internal Revenue Service and five counts of filing false tax returns, the prosecutor's office said in a statement. Agents began assisting a federal grand jury investigation of Thomas Libous in March 2010, the indictment said. Part of the investigation involved reviewing whether Libous had a lobbying firm pay the law office $50,000 annually to supplement his son's salary, according to the indictment. In June, FBI special agents interviewed Libous as part of the investigation and he said he had no knowledge of how his son got his job and he never promised to refer business to the firm, the indictment said.
