Welch shut down House probe into Madigan because ‘they didn’t want any new information coming out,” Wehrli says – WCIA (Champaign)

Former House Republican Grant Wehrli, who sat on the Special Investigative Committee, claimed Welch and his Democratic colleagues shut down the 2020 probe because it was revealing damning information about how Madigan wielded his power to place his political allies on corporate boards. “We had one witness, and that one witness shed new light on Speaker Madigan’s operations. And so they did not want any more witnesses coming forward because they didn’t want any new information coming out.”
