Federal prosecutors on Tuesday highlighted Solis’ remarkable staying power and willingness to wear a wire for the FBI

Danny Solis represented Chicago’s 25th Ward on the City Council for more than 20 years. But in June 2016, FBI agents approached him about his own alleged wrongdoing. He agreed to wear a wire, and the evidence he gathered helped the feds indict Michael Madigan,

Prosecutors finished their initial questioning of Solis before jurors were sent home for the holiday weekend. Cross examination is to begin Monday. The feds also played a video that included a glimpse of a punching bag in Madigan’s office bearing the face of his old nemesis Gov.

Danny Solis, a cooperating government witness, testified in the ongoing trial of former Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, who is accused of conducting an extensive investigation by the FBI.

Federal prosecutors redirected questions to Solis on Tuesday, looking to repair any potential damage after two days of grueling cross-examination.

Danny Solis’s testimony in Michael Madigan’s corruption trial continued into day three on Tuesday. Federal prosecutors said Madigan and his top aide ran a criminal conspiracy to enrich themselves. The government said they took official actions to benefit Private developers in exchange for bribes or other favors.
