HOW TO FLICK A CARD like HARRY POTTER in Now You See Me

John Husted's testimony at the First Energy corruption trial reveals a troubling connection between political funding and corporate interests. Husted, who received a secret million-dollar payment from First Energy to support his campaign, later facilitated a billion-dollar bailout for the company.

As the trial unfolds, it underscores the potential consequences for everyday citizens, who ultimately bear the financial burden of such corporate dealings.
