Feds close in as Madigan’s inner circle sees indictments – Center Square

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch released details of criminal charges Wednesday against four former ComEd employees, including John McClain, a former state lawmaker-turned lobbyist. In the indictment, McClain consistently refers to Madigan as “our Friend” in communications with others in ComEd. The charges also note the group would hide payments from the utility by falsifying records.
