FirstEnergy Corp. (FE) Investigation:

The investigation centers on whether FirstEnergy adequately disclosed the legality and financial impact of its lobbying activities.

On July 21, 2020, multiple news outlets reported that the FBI had arrested Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four others in connection with an alleged $60 million illegal bribery scheme in return for Householder's support for legislation that ultimately passed in 2019, and which bailed out two nuclear power plants of Energy Harbor Corp., a former subsidiary of FirstEnergy. In addition, FirstEnergy announced that it had "received subpoenas in connection with the investigation surrounding" that legislation, Ohio House Bill 6.

In response to this news, analysts downgraded FirstEnergy and the price of FirstEnergy shares has cratered.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether FirstEnergy misled investors about the purpose and legality of company expenditures," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
