Ex-Ohio Speaker Householder begins 20-year federal prison sentence in Oklahoma
Fox News
Republican former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, 64, has been transferred to Oklahoma to begin a 20-year prison sentence for his role in an eight-figure bribery scheme.
He was recently moved to the federal transfer center in Oklahoma City, according to Bureau of Prisons records. His attorney, Steven Bradley, said Householder was not granted a request to be released during his appeal.
Householder and lobbyist Matt Borges, a former chair of the Ohio Republican Party, were convicted in March of conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise involving bribery and money laundering.
