Madigan Shielded From Answering To Role In ComEd Bribery Scheme As Allies Halt Investigation

Originally published on December 15, 2020 1:24 am Democratic allies of House Speaker Mike Madigan on Monday ended an inquiry into whether the speaker did anything that should disqualify him from serving in the legislature. Members of a “Special Investigative Committee” formed at the behest of Republicans deadlocked on whether to bring charges against Madigan related to a federal probe into a bribery scheme orchestrated by lobbyists for utility Commonwealth Edison to curry favor with the Speaker. Monday’s hearing was the third of only three meetings since the committee was formed in August. Republicans again attempted to subpoena Madigan, along with others who declined to appear in front of the committee. But the panel deadlocked on that point, and ended with both accusing each other of political stunts.

Democrats motion for, then vote against, charges against Madigan

by Greg Bishop, The Center Square  | December 15, 2020 08:00 AM Print this article After three hearings, one witness, no subpoenas and a hundred emails showing a nine-year scheme to get ComEd jobs and contracts important House Speaker Michael Madigan, three Democratic votes ended the House Special Investigating Committee on Monday. This summer, federal prosecutors revealed a deferred prosecution agreement where ComEd admitted officials with the company paid $1.3 million in jobs and contracts to Madigan associates in an effort to influence the speaker. The scheme prompted House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, to file a petition in the Illinois House to have an investigation separate from the ongoing criminal probe. That created the House Special Investigating Committee. It only met three times before Democrats ended the probe.

Special Committee on Madigan to Meet Monday
