A federal subpoena to Madigan’s office shows the feds are interested in the speaker’s relationship with other companies as well. The feds also want wide-ranging records involving Madigan’s top political operatives.

Federal prosecutors implicated Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan on Friday in a brazen, Chicago-style bribery scheme involving ComEd that allegedly went on for years and involved payments to Madigan associates exceeding $1.3 million.
Though the stunning, lengthy details were revealed in documents that charged only ComEd — and not Madigan — with bribery, they said ComEd has agreed to “fully and truthfully cooperate” with federal prosecutors. The company has agreed to pay a $200 million fine and acknowledged it sought Madigan’s help for legislation that could be worth more than $150 million to the utility company.
And a federal subpoena for records from Madigan’s office issued Friday and obtained by the Sun-Times shows that ComEd isn’t the only company with a relationship with the speaker that the feds are interested in. The feds requested records from the speaker’s office regarding AT&T Services Inc, Walgreens and Rush University Medical Center. They are also asking for records that include a wide swath of Madigan’s political operatives, including one current and two former Chicago aldermen, as well as close Madigan ally and lobbyist Michael McClain.
