Matt Borges' sentence came the day after U.S. District Judge Timothy Black sentenced former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder to the maximum of 20 years in prison.

Immediately after U.S. District Judge Timothy Black sentenced Larry Householder to 20 years in prison, the Republican former Ohio House speaker was handcuffed and led from the courtroom.

The trial of Larry Householder and Matt Borges revealed more details of how FirstEnergy campaigned for House Bill 6 and the role Borges played in their lobbying effort.

The prosecution walked the jury through how Larry Householder became the Ohio House speaker and how House Bill 6 — a nuclear power plant bailout — passed through the Ohio General Assembly.

U.S. prosecutors laid out several documents and recordings in their racketeering case against former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and former FirstEnergy lobbyist Matt Borges.

Opening arguments in the trial of Larry Householder, former Ohio House speaker, and Matt Borges, former FirstEnergy lobbyist, are set to begin Monday.

The Republican governor and lieutenant governor say they advocated for legislation to help Ohio's two nuclear power plants, but that was the extent of their involvement in the controversial bailout plan.

The newly-disclosed messages show executives talking about the support they were getting from Ohio's Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to pass a 10-year nuclear bailout, despite Husted previously saying he did not play a role in getting the legislation passed.

Larry Householder, the Republican former house speaker, and four others were arrested on July 21, 2020 and accused of playing a role in a $61 million bribery scheme.

Nan Whaley, Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, used the anniversary of Ohio’s nuclear bailout bill being signed into law to push for different energy policy.
