Ex-GOP Congressional Candidate Turns Himself In On Murder Charge

If not for some prior "regrettable" incidents (multiple arrests for assault, domestic abuse, etc) coming to light during a congressional race Dan Rodimer might have become a congressman from Nevada, as he had secured an endorsement from Trump in 2020.

An ex-GOP Congressional candidate and former WWE wrestler has handed himself in on a murder charge in Las Vegas after a man was found dead in a hotel room.

Daniel Rodimer, 45, has been accused of the murder of Christopher Tapp, 47, which took place on October 29 last year.

Tapp was a recently exonerated man who had served 20 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of killing his friend in 1996.

His death at a Resorts World suite was initially ruled as an accident, but the Clark County Coroner's Office later determined it a homicide after discovering 'blunt force trauma' to his head.

Now Rodimer, a married father-of-six, turned himself into Clark County Detention Center on Wednesday night. Lawyers for the accused said he 'vigorously contests' the allegations, 8News Now reports.
