Former Sen. Terry Link testifies in bribery trial while awaiting sentencing on tax evasion charge
Former state Sen. Terry Link publicly acknowledged for the first time this week that he'd worn a wire to secretly record a fellow lawmaker in 2019.
Terry Link testified as the government's star witness in the bribery trial of well-connected businessman James Weiss.
Link, a Vernon Hills Democrat, has spent years denying news media reports that he was the legislator-turned-cooperating witness described in charging documents made public after the arrest of ex-state Rep. Luis Arroyo in October of 2019.
