Police activity is being reported at Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder’s (R) farm and the U.S. Attorney’s office said it is holding a 2:30 p.m. press conference today related to $60 million in bribes paid to a state official, the Dayton Daily News reports.
A source said Householder and four others are in federal custody.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: “It’s not the first time the FBI has looked into Householder’s activities. In 2004, during the Republican’s first stint as speaker, the FBI opened an investigation into Householder after receiving an anonymous tip that the speaker and aides received kickbacks from vendors doing business with the Ohio House GOP’s campaign arm. That investigation closed in 2006 without any charges being filed.”
