  • Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan testified in his corruption trial Wednesday that he was taken aback when then-Ald. Daniel Solis told him over the phone that the developers of a West Loop condo tower understood "the quid pro quo" of hiring Madigan's law firm.

Michael Madigan, the former Illinois House Speaker, testified in his own defense in a federal corruption trial, asserting that he would never engage in a quid pro quo arrangement. During his testimony, Madigan emphasized his commitment to ethical conduct, stating that he always advised his colleagues to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. He denied any involvement in schemes where political favors were exchanged for personal or political gain, directly contradicting allegations that he used his powerful position to benefit his private law firm and allies through corrupt practices. This testimony comes as part of a broader legal battle where Madigan faces charges of racketeering, bribery, and official misconduct.
