Federal prosecutors said that utility company ComEd admitted to providing jobs or contracts "for various associates of a high-level elected official for the state of Illinois." While Madigan's name was not mentioned, a federal court filing identifies the official as the Illinois House speaker. In a news release, the U.S. Attorney's Office said that "Public Official A" influenced lawmakers regarding legislation that impacted ComEd. The investigation of the alleged scheme continues, and Madigan's office confirmed that he has received subpoenas for documents related to job recommendations, while insisting that he did nothing wrong. He is the longest-serving state House speaker in the country.
