This is some next level pressuring, Rep. Rick Carfagna, R-Genoa Township, wrote in a text message.
Carfagna s text was one of thousands of documents released in response to a public records request for emails and messages given to the FBI as part of their investigation into whether five men committed federal crimes while trying to pass House Bill 6.
Agents arrested former House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford, in July on federal racketeering charges. The indictment alleged that he and four other men funneled $61 million through dark money groups and PACs to pass the nuclear subsidy bill and defend it against a referendum.
