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.
Just checked and he happens to be a republican. Lets face it, republicans don’t have an edge on honesty if left for too long to their own devices and they can get just as crooked as the socialists.
Didn’t they just arrest a group of Toledo Dems?
If he’s a corrupt Republican, he’s not on our side.
He’s a Republican.
Republican
My first inclination is public bribery by elected officials, law enforcement, judges, etc should be a crime with mandatory loss of pension and fifteen years at hard labor minimum. We need deterrence.
My only concern is how our country has so politicized criminal justice to the point where justice itself is in question.
Don’t know about you, but this may be a first for me - being a Republican not being mentioned in the headline and I’m 80.5.
Has he called it a partisan political move yet? Give him time.
John Boehner was from OH as well. What is it with that state? Boner, DeWhine, and now this turd. How about some non-kleptoparty-RINOs for a change?
Truth. One stands and watches while the other party does the actual raping.
Not a dime’s worth of difference.
Must be a democrat or Kasich ally.
Those six ways from Sunday people seem to have their own judgment problems when it comes to handling large amounts of money.
What we’re seeing here is probably simple law and order.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Party affiliation not mentioned ... 95% chance its a Dem.
Oops sorry he is the House speaker a republican!!
shelden silver just got hit with a long stretch.
He’s as left as left can get.
Bottom line is maybe 2 percent get caught.
Out of 6 trillion in stimulus, the amount that congress will steal through graft or kickbacks or $$ thrown to family business will make 60 million seem like a few bucks.
We are getting raped and smiling about it because they are throwing some crumbs our way.
Yes, I really believe 60 million will be on the small side compared to the theft of these stimuli.
So far, so bad.
Too bad Kasich isn’t caught up in this mess! He’s a LOSER and has endorsed Joe Biden and plans to speak at the Dem Convention...I’m sorry I meant TRAITOR!
And now we know why the Republicans cowered in the corner when presented with data contrary to DeWhine’s Covid-19 Propaganda
You’d be wrong. Ohio house is in Republican control. He’s a republican..
Corruption is not remotely unique to one party.
