U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood is urging President Donald Trump to not pardon former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan.
In a letter sent to President Trump by Illinois congressional Republicans they said, “Illinois families and taxpayers have suffered for decades under entrenched corruption, and a pardon in this case would send a dangerous message that public officials can betray the public trust with impunity.”
Madigan, 83, was convicted on counts of bribery and conspiracy back in June.
