CEO and Several Others INDICTED
Anastasia Boushee November 20, 2020
Several members of House Speaker Michael Madigan’s inner circle have been charged in connection to a bribery scheme by federal prosecutors.
Michael Madigan, a Democrat, is the longest-serving leader of any state or federal legislative body in the history of the U.S., having held the position for all but two years since 1983. Madigan continues to insist that he has taken no bribes, but prosecutors don’t seem to agree, as they have indicted several of his confidants and close friends in a bribery scheme.
On Wednesday, prosecutors charged both longtime confidant Michael McClain and ex-ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore in connection to a bribery scheme designed to curry favor with the powerful Democrat lawmaker.
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, “Also named in the 50-page indictment are ex-top ComEd lobbyist John Hooker and Jay Doherty, the former president of the City Club, who was accused of helping to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to three people with ties to Madigan’s 13th Ward.”
Each of Madigan’s allies are charged in a document which makes frequent references to ex-ComEd executive Fidel Marquez, who has already pleaded guilty to bribery, and also repeatedly mentions “Public Official A,” who is not specifically named, but is clearly identified as Madigan.
Madigan has yet to be charged with any crime, despite the fact that the federal probe is obviously aimed at him.
