Cross-examination of former ComEd exec expected at Madigan corruption trial

The bribery and racketeering trial of former Illinois House Speaker and Democratic Party of Illinois Chairman Michael Madigan is set to resume after a four-day weekend.
Former ComEd executive and cooperating witness Fidel Marquez is expected to return to the witness stand after three days of direct testimony last week.
In a recording dated June 20, 2018, codefendant Michael McClain explained to Marquez how Madigan relied on his former chief of staff Tim Mapes and McClain.

McClain then suggested that Marquez hire Mapes at ComEd.

Madigan and McClain are charged with 23 federal counts of corruption.
