Meet MAGAt John Diehl
@johndiehljr who is the former Missouri Republican House Speaker was sentenced on March 9, 2026, to 21 months in federal prison and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine for federal wire fraud. He pleaded guilty in September 2025 to defrauding the SBA out of $379,900 in pandemic relief funds between 2020 and 2022, using the money for a Tesla, an Audi, country club dues, and college tuition.
Diehl represented the GOP in the Missouri House from 2009 to 2015, ascending to Speaker in January 2015. His career collapsed in May 2015 when he resigned after exchanging sexually suggestive texts with a 19-year-old female Capitol intern Katie Graham. Diehl messaged "God I want you right now," and she replied, "I wish you could have me right now."
Many of the messages were sexual in nature, including phrases like, 'We need a lot of time and a quiet room', '[I'll] leave you quivering', 'Wait till I get done with you' and 'Will have my way with you.'
At the time, Diehl was publicly championing "traditional marriage" and anti-gay marriage amendments while married to his wife, Kelly. Following the public fallout and subsequent 2023 and 2025 legal scandals, his wife remained entirely out of the public eye.
