In one of the largest bribery scandals in U.S. political history, the Republican speaker of the Ohio House was arrested Tuesday along with four others, and faces charges of federal corruption and campaign finance violations.
House Speaker Larry Householder stands accused of being involved in a $60 million bribery scheme involving two nuclear power plants that were bailed out by taxpayers, according to The Associated Press. U.S. Attorney David DeVillers described the alleged crimes as possibly the largest instance of bribery and money laundering that had “ever been perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio.”
