Householder To Seek Pardon From Trump

(ONN) – An imprisoned former Ohio lawmaker is planning to ask for a Presidential pardon.

Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder is preparing to ask President-elect Donald Trump for clemency.

That’s according to his campaign attorney.

The Republican is currently behind bars serving a 20-year prison sentence for his involvement in the largest bribery scandal in the state; a $60 million bribery scheme funded by FirstEnergy.

Cleveland.com is reporting that Householder plans to submit the official pardon application closer to Inauguration Day.
