A federal prosecutor called former Ald. Danny Solis (25th) one of Chicago’s “most significant cooperators in the last several decades” in a rare speech in defense of the deal Solis cut with the feds that has drawn the ire of Mayor Lori Lightfoot and others.
“Mr. Solis’ cooperation has been truly extraordinary,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Amarjeet Bhachu told U.S. District Judge Andrea Wood in a court hearing Thursday. “Indeed, I would say in some ways, it’s been singular.”
