Rinehart is scheduled to appear at an Oklahoma County District Court hearing on Thursday in connection with several felony campaign corruption charges he’s facing in connection with his previous campaign.

“I’ve been battling and battling for many years, and I believe even though I still had some fight left in me, I don’t believe the public had it left in them,” Rinehart said Tuesday night. “I don’t in any way blame them.”
