  • Courtney Stadd, former chief of staff for NASA and a former White House liaison, was indicted on March 6, 2009, with charges of ethical violation after he allegedly directed $9.6 million to a client of his consulting firm.

    Stadd is accused of steering funds from an earth science appropriation to Mississippi State University, whom was paying Stadd as a consultant. After illegally steering the funds, he allegedly lied to NASA officials about doing so. Stadd has been charged with three-counts of ethics violations and faces 15 years in prison if convicted.

  • Return to NASA

    In 2005, Stadd returned to NASA a consultant to assist in the transition from then NASA chief Sean O'Keefe to new NASA administrator Michael Griffin. In April 2005, Griffen announced that he was creating a new position of associate administrator to run the daily operation of the agency. A memo announced that Stadd would temporarily fill the administration job until it was filled. During this three month stint, Stadd is accused of steering nearly $10 million of earth science appropriation funds to one of his consultant clients, Mississippi State University.
