(Chicago, IL) — Closing arguments are underway in Michael Madigan’s landmark corruption trial. During the prosecution’s closing argument yesterday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia Schwartz said the former Illinois House Speaker and Michael McClain conspired to enhance and preserve Madigan’s power and line his pockets. She added that McClain was Madigan’s “right-hand man” who helped him and others pocket one-point-three-million-dollars from ComEd through “sham” contracts. The prosecution will continue their closing argument today.
