Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s high-stakes legal gambit to testify in his federal corruption trial is now over.

WBEZ’s Dave McKinney has been at this trial since October, and he joins me to break down Madigan’s four days on the witness stand.
