COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four of his associates have been arrested on charges in relation to “what is likely the largest bribery, money laundering scheme ever perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio," one that allegedly involved at least million passed through a 501c4 organization controlled by Householder and other entities for the purpose of passing HB6 in 2019, a law that provided a .5 billion taxpayer bailout to FirstEnergy.U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio David DeVillers spoke with reporters about the 81-page indictment of Householder and his associates on Tuesday afternoon.-DeVillers alleges that in exchange for million in dark money funneled through a 501c4 named Generation Now, Householder and his co-conspirators furthered the affairs of the enterprise.-Devillers said the scheme was bribery, “pure and simple,” a “quid pro quo” and “pay for play,” citing the enterprise’s own words.-Company A, which was not identified during the news conference due to the regulations and rules at the U.S. Attorney’s office, provided million in exchange for a .5 billion bailout.-Householder created Generation Now, a non-profit entity that, unlike PACs and SuperPACs, does not have to disclose its donors.-501c4 organizations are supposed to be operated to promote social welfare. They cannot benefit a shareholder or individual, or engage in direct political activity, which it did in this case, Devillers said. “Not a dime went to any social program,” he said.-Householder’s co-defendants are political advisers and lobbyists who worked in different capacities in the enterprise, DeVillers said.-The enterprise began with millions of dollars filtered through Generation Now and other entities to support candidates who would vote to elect Householder as Speaker and attack political rivals who would not. “It was very successful,” DeVillers said.-Of all the individuals who were funded through Generation Now and the other filter entities, all voted to elect Householder as speaker.-Once he was elected speaker, and had his so-called “power base” of representatives, millions more were funneled from Company A to Generation Now and other entities to get HB6 passed, a bill that subsidizes First Energy’s nuclear and coal power plants with .5 billion of Ohio taxpayer dollars.-Commercials, mailers, flyers, which ultimately came from Company A, were used to support HB6’s passage.-After the bill passed but before it was signed into law, a ballot initiative was started to attempt to reverse the bill.-At that point, tens of millions more went from Company A to Generation Now and its filters to defeat the ballot initiative, which was ultimately successful, DeVillers said.-Throughout this process, Householder and his associates were “able to line their pockets” with the dark money passed through Generation Now.-DeVillers alleges millions went to the personal benefit of Householder and his associates, including 0,000 to pay off a lawsuit against Householder, and another 0,000 toward a house in Florida.-The case came from an unnamed whistleblower, officials said.-The FBI confirmed that agents were carrying out "law enforcement activity" at Householder's farm property in Glenford in southestern Ohio Tuesday morning, along with the Perry County Sheriff's Office.After the U.S. Attorney's news conference, Gov. DeWine issued this statement calling for the speaker to resign:"I am deeply concerned about the allegations of wrongdoing in the issued today by the U.S. Attorney’s 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.”Lt. Gov. Jon Husted also issued a statement calling for the speaker's resignation:"As a former House Speaker, it makes me incredibly sad. With the announcement of today’s criminal complaints, the Speaker can no longer effectively perform his duties and should resign. Ohio is in the midst of a pandemic response and economic downturn, and the institution of the House of Representatives must remain operational, and the integrity of the office and the institution must be restored.”Read the complete 81-page criminal complaint filed Tuesday against Householder and his associates here.This article was written by Ian Cross for WEWS. 4530

Crippled by falling revenue and piles of debt, radio conglomerate iHeartMedia has filed for bankruptcy.The beleaguered company announced Thursday that it has reached an agreement with creditors and investors to restructure more than billion in debt, about half of what it currently owes investors."The agreement we announced today ... allows us to definitively address the more than billion in debt that has burdened our capital structure," iHeartMedia CEO Bob Pittman said in a statement.The company said it had enough cash to support it through Chapter 11 proceedings.Last year, iHeartMedia flagged "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a going concern, as it struggled to get out from under a massive debt load it took on as part of a leveraged buyout of billboard company Clear Channel Outdoor in 2008.Related: Clear Channel changes name to iHeartMediaWhile the San Antonio-based company bills itself as a multi-platform media company, it is best known for operating about 850 radio stations across the United States. It also owns iHeartRadio's music streaming service, a popular concert business, and a majority stake in Clear Channel Outdoor.The company has struggled with falling revenue in recent years, as it competed with streaming rivals like Spotify and Pandora.The bankruptcy filing comes as Spotify prepares for its much anticipated billion listing on the New York Stock Exchange.The-CNN-Wire 1440

Claire Foy, the actress who starred as Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix series "The Crown" was paid less for her Golden Globe-winning performance than supporting actor Matt Smith, according to Variety.The entertainment publication cites the CEO, creative director and production designer of Left Bank Pictures, the company that produced "The Crown" for Netflix.Smith, who played Queen Elizabeth II's husband Prince Phillip, was reportedly paid more because of his previous work as the lead role the hit TV show Doctor Who — a move which producers say will not happen on "The Crown" in the future."Going forward, no one gets paid more than the Queen," said Suzanne Mackie, the creative director for Left Bank according to Variety.That won't mean much for Foy, as her run as Queen Elizabeth II ended after the most recent season of "The Crown." Olivia Colman will take over the role as the series jumps forward in time for season three. Smith will also not return as Prince Phillip, though it has not been announced who will take his place.Foy won the Golden Globe in 2017 for "Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama," in 2017, and was nominated for the award again in 2018. She was also nominated for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama" at the 2017 Primetime Emmys.The revelation comes just months after reports surfaced that actor Mark Wahlberg was paid .5 million to reshoot scenes from "All the Money in the World," while co-star Michelle Williams was only paid ,000. Both Wahlberg and Williams reportedly had the same agent at the time.Alex Hider is a writer for the E.W. Scripps National Desk. Follow him on Twitter @alexhider. 1700

Complaints about a gynecologist for students at the University of Southern California went back decades. His behavior included sexual and racial comments, accounts of improper touching during pelvic exams and saving photographs of patients' genitals.But the university didn't publicly acknowledge the history or reveal a report about the former physician's misconduct at the school's student health center until after it was contacted by the Los Angeles Times last week.On Tuesday, in advance of the newspaper's published investigation into the doctor's history, school university President C.L. Max Nikias released a letter to the USC community, apologizing and addressing the matter of Dr. George Tyndall, who resigned last summer."As the parent of two daughters who were undergraduates and graduate students at USC, I understand how vital it is for the university to do everything it can to care for the students who put their trust in us," Nikias wrote. "While we have no evidence of criminal conduct, we have no doubt that Dr. Tyndall's behavior was completely unacceptable. It was a clear violation of our Principles of Community, and a shameful betrayal of our values."Though Tyndall, 71, insisted in conversations with the Los Angeles Times that he'd "done nothing wrong," more than 20 former and current USC employees interviewed by the paper offered a different story. They included nurses and medical assistants who'd served as chaperones and been in the room while Tyndall did exams. A number of them called his behavior "creepy."They told the paper that he had young women lie on the table fully naked to look over their bodies. He commented on their "perky breasts" and complimented their "creamy," "beautiful" and "flawless" skin.He moved his fingers into and out of the students at the beginning of pelvic exams, when common practice is to insert a speculum."My, what a tight muscle you have," a chaperone remembered him saying time and time again to patients, according to the Times report. "You must be a runner."After telling students their hymens were still intact, he'd reportedly add, "Don't worry about it, your boyfriend's gonna love it."Patients, many of them Asian international students, stayed quiet, witnesses reported."Some of them had never had a gynecological exam before," one chaperone told the Times. "They are so innocent, a lot of them."The paper reported that Tyndall wanted details about a student's first sexual experience. He asked a patient whether he could keep her intrauterine device after he removed it. A box containing photographs of students' genitals, taken years earlier, was found in his office.He put away the camera after staff members complained in the 1990s and the health center's executive director at the time, Dr. Lawrence Neinstein, made him stop, a former nurse told the Times.A number of complaints filed in 2013 by chaperones prompted an investigation by the university's Office of Equity and Diversity, which monitors discrimination and sexual misconduct. The office interviewed seven employees and a patient, according to USC, the Los Angeles Times reported, before determining that there was "no violation of school policy."Files kept by Neinstein, who is now deceased but served as the center's director from 1995 to 2014, were reviewed during an investigation in 2016, the USC president said in his letter. In them were accounts in which students said Tyndall made them "uncomfortable," "gave me the skeevies" and was "unprofessional.""Several of the complaints were concerning enough that it is not clear today why the former health center director permitted Tyndall to remain in his position," Nikias said. "Rather than elevate these complaints for proper investigation," he said, Neinstein addressed the gynecologist's behavior independently.The 2016 investigation began after a "frustrated" nurse visited the campus crisis rape center to seek guidance, the Times reported. Tyndall was suspended with pay. In June 2017, with a separation agreement including severance pay, he agreed to retire.The university only filed a complaint with the Medical Board of California in March, after Tyndall wrote a letter requesting his reinstatement at USC."In hindsight, we should have made this report eight months earlier when he separated from the university," Nikias said in his letter.Carlos Villatoro, a spokesman for the medical board, could not comment on Tyndall's case, explaining that the investigation and complaint process is confidential."I can't confirm there's an investigation taking place, but I can tell you we're looking closely at this story," he said.In broad terms, though, Villatoro explained that if a complaint comes in, an expert reviewer in the same specialty is assigned to review the case, study medical records and issue an opinion. If further investigation is warranted, the complaint is passed along to an investigations team to conduct interviews with witnesses and more. If the evidence in a complaint grows, it then lands on the attorney general's desk. And if the attorney general determines it's appropriate, charging documents will be filed.Before Tyndall stopped responding to questions from the Los Angeles Times, he told the paper he planned to keep working into his 80s. He renewed his medical license in January."When I am on my deathbed," he told the paper, "I want to think there are thousands and thousands of Trojan women out there whose health I made a difference in."The phone number CNN found for Tyndall on Wednesday was disconnected, and an email seeking comment wasn't answered.USC is encouraging former students and community members to call a dedicated line with concerns and additional information about Tyndall's history at the school."We understand that any unacceptable behavior by a health professional is a profound breach of trust," Nikias said. "On behalf of the university, I sincerely apologize to any student who may have visited the student health center and did not receive the respectful care each individual deserves." 6076
