Ohio House Speaker charged for alleged role in $60 million bribery scheme

Ohio Speaker of the House Larry Householder and four others are in custody in connection with a 60-million dollar bribery case, believed to be the largest racketeering conspiracy in state history. Former state Republican Chairman Matt Borges, lobbyist Neil Clark, lobbyist Juan Cespedes, and political consultant Jeff Longstreth were all arrested today along with Householder. Federal prosecutors say the defendants received so-called "dark money" in connection with the passage of a measure to bail out nuclear power plants in Ohio.
