OH-SEN: Sen. Husted met with man accused of bribery 2 days before HB 6 was introduced, according to schedule

Ohio Republican U.S. Senator Jon Husted met with the alleged mastermind of Ohio’s largest public corruption scheme two days before scandal-ridden bribery legislation was introduced, according to his official calendar.

As former FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones and VP Mike Dowling are on trial for bribery, their close ties to major political players continue to be revealed.

“I think all the significant actors have yet to be discovered,” said state Sen. Kent Smith, D-Euclid.

But one name kept coming up in the Summit County courtroom.
