Ex-Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan Asks Trump For Pardon
Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is asking President Trump for a pardon for his federal corruption conviction. Madigan recently filed a clemency petition with the Office of the Pardon Attorney. The Chicago native is currently serving a seven-and-a-half-year sentence in federal prison after being convicted earlier this year on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, and bribery. Federal prosecutors say Madigan conspired with others to get ComEd to make monetary payments to his associates in exchange for favorable legislation.
