Patrick Lynn Swindall (October 18, 1950 – July 11, 2018) was an American politician, attorney, and businessman. He served as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia's 4th congressional district from 1985 to 1989.
Swindall lied to a federal grand jury about his knowledge that the funds were from a drug trafficking operation, which was refuted by the undercover tapes. While one of the perjury charges was dismissed by District Judge Richard C. Freeman, the jury convicted Swindall on nine counts and sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of $30,450.[1][2][3]
Swindall died in his sleep on July 11, 2018 at his home in Johns Creek, Georgia, aged 67.[4][5]
