PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - There's more legal troubles for a former lawmaker who's charged with practicing the law without a license.

According to The Providence Journal, former Representative Leo Medina is now accused of violating campaign finance laws.

The Board of Elections said Medina, who lost his seat to Rep. Joseph Almeida during this month's Democratic primary, failed to report contributions to his campaign.

The board has voted to ask the Attorney General to investigate.
