Roy McGrath, who served as former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s chief of staff for 11 weeks, is set to stand trial in federal court this week on charges of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the state. Attorneys are expected to begin picking a jury Monday for the trial, which is scheduled to run for several weeks in Baltimore’s U.S. District Courthouse. Federal prosecutors said in court papers that they need two weeks to present their case.
