The trial of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and ex-Ohio Republican Party leader Matt Borges was delayed another day as jurors await COVID-19 test results.
The trial is expected to resume Tuesday morning. Jurors heard two days of testimony before one tested positive for COVID-19, canceling court for the rest of last week.
Householder and Borges are accused of participating in the state's largest corruption scheme to elect Householder as speaker, pass a $1.3 billion nuclear bailout and defend that law against a ballot initiative to block it. When the trial resumes, FBI Special Agent Blane Wetzel will take the stand.
