Governor DeWine Issues Statement on Criminal Complaint Against Speaker Householder

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)Following the news conference by U.S. Attorney DeVillers in Columbus this afternoon announcing a criminal complaint against Speaker Larry Householder and others for an alleged $60 million bribery scheme, Governor Mike DeWine today issued the following statement.

I am deeply concerned about the allegations of wrongdoing in the issued today by the U.S. Attorneys Office. Every American has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Because of the nature of these charges, it will be impossible for Speaker Householder to effectively lead the Ohio House of Representatives; therefore, I am calling on Speaker Householder to resign immediately.

"This is a sad day for Ohio."
