Lobbyist Juan Cespedes, a co-defendant with Householder, plead guilty and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in the racketeering trial against the former Ohio House speaker.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
Weeks into the trial, Cespedes’s testimony Monday marks the first time a co-defendant or a witness with immunity has testified. On Monday, Cespedes described how he was hired on contract by FirstEnergy Solutions in 2018 to figure out why a bailout bill went nowhere in that year’s legislative session. He was also tasked with figuring out what could be done to move one to the next.
Ultimately, much of it would travel through Generation Now, a dark money group that Householder controlled and that didn’t have to disclose where its money came from.
