All four former political officials accused of conspiring over a decade-long bribery plan to sway then-Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan have been convicted. Former ComEd lobbyist John Hooker, once City Club President Jay Doherty, Madigan confidant Michael McClain, and former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore all pleaded guilty to the charges, which included nine counts of conspiracy, bribery, and falsification of records. The announcement came after the jury had been deliberating for one week, and the proceedings lasted for two months. The federal investigation into corruption in Chicago-style politics led to the case. Madigan, who was targeted by the feds back in 2014, was the main alleged target of bribery to benefit ComEd. Other significant Illinois politicians' careers will be ending due to the case. Madigan is set to have his separate racketeering indictment trial in April 2024.
