Husted's Dinner with FirstEnergy Execs

Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted testified about a dinner with then Governor-elect Mike DeWine and FirstEnergy executives, which prosecutors argue is when the executives learned Samuel Randazzo was in line to chair the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Phone records show Husted and an executive talked frequently during Randazzos job review, with prosecutors seeing a pattern of coordination and defense framing it as normal politics. The outcome could depend on jurors belief in Husteds hazy memory.
