Mistrial for former AT&T exec accused of bribing ex-Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan
CHICAGO -- The trial of an AT&T executive accused of bribing former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan ended in a hung jury Thursday.Prosecutors said former AT&T President Paul La Schiazza paid Madigan allies thousands of dollars in the form of do-nothing contracts. In exchange, Madigan helped pass a bill ending mandatory landline service in Illinois.
After that legislation stalled in 2015, AT&T renewed its efforts to pass the bill in 2017, and McClain sent an email to someone at AT&T asking for a 'small contract' for a Madigan ally. La Schiazza later indicated AT&T had received a 'GO order' to hire that ally, according to a 2022 indictment.
