Federal prosecutors charged Matt Borges, founder of the anti-Trump Right Side super PAC, with conspiracy to commit racketeering on Tuesday.
Borges, a former Ohio Republican Party chairman who is now a lobbyist, is one of five people who have been charged in connection with a nuclear bailout bill that was quickly moved through the Ohio state legislature last year, Cleveland reported.
The others are Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, lobbyist Neil Clark, FirstEnergy Solutions lobbyist Juan Cespedes and Householder aide Jeff Longstreth.
According to a federal complaint filed Thursday, the political operation accepted over $60 million in bribe money to secure FirstEnergy Corp. a $13 billion public bailout, Cleveland reported.
