Former Republican Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder will be arraigned from federal prison on the 10 new felony counts recently brought against him by the sta
FILE - Then-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder sits at the head of a legislative session in Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 30, 2019. The largest corruption case in Ohio history culminated on Thursday, March 9, 2023, in guilty verdicts for both Householder and lobbyist Matt Borges, but the state's attorney general called it “only the beginning of accountability" regarding the now-tainted $1 billion bailout of two aging nuclear power plants.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Brendan Sheehan this week agreed to allow Householder to appear at the May 13 proceeding by video stream from Elkton Federal Correctional Institution south of Youngstown, where he isfor his role in the largest corruption case in state history. The permission follows postponement of an earlier arraignment on the state’s charges where Householder was to appear in person.
He has appealed that conviction, arguing that federal prosecutors overstepped the limits of their authority. His lawyers contend that the $60 million, while undisclosed, amounted to legal campaign contributions permitted under federal law.
