John Green is an American politician, attorney, and former deputy sheriff. Green was elected in 2018 as a Republican member of the Idaho House of Representatives from Legislative District 2, Seat B. On January 15, 2020, Green was convicted by a jury in Texas of conspiracy to defraud the United States, a charge that stemmed from helping a wealthy Texas couple hide assets to avoid paying income taxes when Green worked as an attorney there.
Because convicted felons are disqualified from serving in the Idaho Legislature, Green was formally expelled from the legislature on January 16, 2020. He was the first Idaho legislator to ever be expelled.
