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.
He is a Republican but I thought you were right because the party wasn’t repeatedly in the article
REPUBLICAN Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder under arrest in $60 million bribery case
I stand corrected.
Clearing out the voter fraud networks.
Yesterday, Illinois
Today, Ohio!
Nope.
He is a Republican.
Must be one of the 5%.
I thought he would be a Dem as well...
There is no excuse that night after night the Ohio Statehouse gets beaten, spray painted & abused. The Statehouse isn’t only Ohio’s seat of government but it is POST #1 OF THE HIGHWAY PATROL.

Go back and watch his funeral and ask yourself: do I share the same values as these people? Answer: No.
Lol. Wrong!
That's not a choice,it's putting off the inevitable.
When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821
RE: Speaker, Larry Householder
Well, he won’t be holding the house much longer :)
It is the kleptocracy party (K).
Thought so too but I looked up—GOP I believe.
The best government “money can BUY”(bribes)
I come from MA where most officeholders are Democrats and even the (few) Republicans tend to be Democrats
Now you know why Kasich is speaking up for Biden at the DNC convention.
There has been a concerted effort to kill off the nuclear power plants here in Ohio. I’ve read several think tank articles on the attack. The renewable energy aligned crowd are trying to destroy nuclear altogether in Ohio. There are three large scale solar farms to come online soon. It’s a national security issue as far as I’m concerned. We should be looking into having diverse power generation capabiliities, not less. Gas generator technology is well developed. It’s time to resurrect the nuclear jet engine technology to compliment gas generators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_Propulsion
The charges stem from Silver supporting a real estate developer’s position on rent regulations in exchange for bribes.
This is what was called ‘honest graft’ circa 1900.
So he is a Repub. Take him to trial and let’s see what happens. While we’re at it, let’s do Al Sharpton for not paying his taxes.
He's the House Speaker so he'd be a Republican.
He’s not a householder anymore.
