CINCINNATI — After more than nine hours of deliberation, a jury on Thursday found former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and state Republican Chairman Matt Borges guilty of felony racketeering
Ohio AG Dave Yost has announced his office's request to lift a stay on discovery in the state's civil case in the bailout bribery scandal. He also said that to pursue any further criminal investigation, he needs a request from the Ohio legislature or an invitation from a county prosecutor.
If jurors rely on their common sense they'll know FirstEnergy gave Larry Householder $60 million for one reason: to pass a billion-dollar bailout for the company, federal prosecutors asserted Tuesday. Householder's defense said they're lying.
