Former state House Speaker Larry Householder and former Ohio Republican Party Chair Matt Borges were convicted in a $60 million bribery scheme that federal prosecutors have called the largest corruption case in state history.

This is one step to the process. And we're gonna utilize every process we can in the judicial system until we get it right," Householder said. U.S. Attorney Kenneth Parker said the government’s prosecution team showed that “Householder sold the Statehouse, and thus he ultimately betrayed the people of the great state of Ohio he was elected to serve.” He called Borges “a willing co-conspirator.” “Through its verdict today, the jury reaffirmed that the illegal acts committed by both men will not be tolerated and that they should be held accountable,” Parker said.
