RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A former North Carolina GOP chairman will admit in court that he lied to federal agents conducting a bribery probe of a major political donor. 

The federal court docket shows that Robin Hayes is scheduled to enter a guilty plea on Oct. 2. A factual basis document prepared as part of the plea agreement and signed by Hayesโ€™ attorney acknowledges that Hayes knew he was making false statements to FBI agents.

The actual plea agreement is sealed, and the factual basis doesnโ€™t specify which charges heโ€™ll plead guilty to. He was initially charged with conspiracy, bribery and making false statements.

Prosecutors have accused Hayes of involvement in an insurance executiveโ€™s plan to funnel campaign contributions to the stateโ€™s top insurance regulator in exchange for special treatment.
