💨 Abstract

A federal appeals court upheld the racketeering convictions of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and ex-lobbyist Matt Borges in a $60 million bribery scheme. The scheme, which was masterminded by Householder and funded by Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp., aimed to elect allies, pass a $1 billion nuclear plant bailout, and defend the bill from repeal efforts.
