| Description | A former state legislative candidate says he went to the FBI earlier this year with his concerns over the anonymously funded political ads that flooded the airwaves during his race, earning him a spot as a witness in the federal charging documents against Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and others that were unsealed last week.
Nick Owens, a Brown County Republican and member of the State Board of Education, says he is referenced in the 81-page affidavit as “Individual 1.” Individual 1 provided the FBI with information about Householder’s political operation relevant to the investigation, the affidavit says, including by detailing Householder’s secret control of a political group prosecutors said covertly received $60 million from FirstEnergy in exchange for Householder’s delivery of nuclear bailout legislation. |
