CHICAGO (AP) – The Illinois House has formed a special panel to investigate Speaker Michael Madigan, who has been implicated in a federal bribery probe.
Republicans petitioned to form the committee earlier this week, saying Wednesday that the House must “do its job and conduct a thorough investigation.”
Republicans and some Democrats have called on Madigan to step down after federal prosecutors named him by title in a criminal investigation in which ComEd acknowledges engaging in bribery in the Capitol.
Madigan hasn’t been charged and repeated Wednesday that he hasn’t engaged in wrongdoing.
