Lawyers for Andy Sanborn said he’s been too ill to mount a defense against accusations that he fraudulently obtained and misused COVID relief funds for lavish personal expenses.

A lottery hearing on whether Sanborn, a former state senator and the owner of the Concord Casino, should lose his charitable gaming license was postponed for the second time last week after his lawyer obtained a court order delaying the proceeding.

“We’re also dealing with lots of medical appointments and side effects from medical appointments. I’d rather not get into the specific details, but he’s very sick, very, very sick,” Sanborn’s attorney Zachary Hafer said.
