A jury has deadlocked in the trial of two fired FirstEnergy Corp. executives charged for their roles in Ohio's $60 million bribery scandal.

Jurors in Ohio have begun deliberating in the corruption trial of two fired FirstEnergy Corp. executives charged for their alleged roles in the $60 million bribery scheme centered on a $1 billion nuclear plant bailout.

Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted has testified remotely in Akron, Ohio, in the high-profile corruption trial of two former FirstEnergy Corp. executives.

The $4.3 million that Akron-based FirstEnergy paid veteran utility lawyer Sam Randazzo in 2019 is at the center of another criminal trial tied to Ohio's sweeping $60 million bribery scandal.
