Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan asked a judge Tuesday to put his criminal case on hold while the U.S. Supreme Court considers a separate corruption case out of Indiana that Madigan’s attorneys say could have a “monumental impact” on his.
The request comes less than four months before Madigan is set to stand trial for racketeering. Also charged in Madigan’s case is his longtime confidant, Michael McClain, who was separately convicted in May for a lengthy conspiracy to bribe Madigan to benefit ComEd.
