DOVER, Del. (AP) — Opening arguments are set to begin in the criminal corruption trial of Delaware’s state auditor following completion of jury selection.

She was indicted in October on felony counts of theft and witness intimidation, and misdemeanor charges of official misconduct, conflict of interest and noncompliance with procurement laws.
She has denied any wrongdoing.
