CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder is under arrest in connection with a $61 million federal bribery case, a source close to the investigation said Tuesday.
An FBI spokesman confirmed Tuesday FBI agents are on scene conducting law enforcement activity in the area of Householder’s Glenford Farm in Perry County, and it’s connected to an announcement coming this afternoon from federal officials involving $60 million in bribes paid to a state official and associates.
He also confirmed it is connected to an announcement earlier this morning from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio related to charges involving a “$60 million bribe to a state official and associates.”
U.S. Attorney David DeVillers and FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Cincinnati office Chris Hoffman will discuss the case in a 2:30 p.m. news conference in Columbus, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“Federal officials will brief the media on a public corruption racketeering conspiracy involving $60 million,” the release states.
FOX19 NOW reached to Householder for comment but did not immediately hear back.
I’d like to know what years these (alleged) crimes occurred. In other words, who was president, governor?
Why does it matter? Menshevik (R) or Bolshevik (D) it’s all the same party.
They got six ways from Sunday.
Nah, he’s simply another one of those true democrats (the party of corruption, slavery and murder) who call themselves a republican - just like Mittens or Collins or McCain or Graham or....
Matthew Borges was censured by the Ohio GOP for starting an anti-Trump super-Pac.
My feeling is this is why the GOP-e refuses to fight back.
The threat is out there: “Fight back and you are going down”
For sure this applies to Romney and Graham.
Romney’s connection to NSA building in UT.
Graham’s involvement in everything McCain was involved in.
“The government closed the case without filing charges”
Hmmm... like they do for nearly all democrats...?
I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and prison time isn’t deterring them.
And yet ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’, who has swindled more money out of more people than anyone in politics, still roams freely. :(
Within the last year and a half. Bribes for Nuclear Bailout Bill in Ohio is what the news is saying.
Now that would be interesting..Howdy Doody in some corrupt scheme.
Yes, Kasich reminds me of Howdy Doody.
Many thanks.
Nope, Republican.
We have a long history of corrupt Pubbies on the state level here in PA. My guess is Ohio has ones associated with the likes of DeWine who are even worse.
Agree ! though I would call it a form of sedition. The Constitution spells out what treason is.
It’s an attack on the commonwealth of all.
As is vote fraud, both should have very very severe legal consequences.
Just look at Kasich and DeWine (who’s actually a decent guy but way out of his depth). I do like the Menshevik / Bolshevik analogy mentioned above. Would add that power corrupts and anyone who makes political office a career choice should be suspect. Unfortunately, with Republican and Democrat politicians it’s a frying pan and raging fire comparison.
Is he a Kasich republican? If so, who cares.
