Federal prosecutors have announced a significant shift in strategy for the upcoming corruption trial of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. They plan to call former Alderman Daniel Solis, who previously served as an FBI informant, to testify. This decision comes after prosecutors initially declined to have Solis testify in the trial of another former Alderman, Edward M. Burke. The prosecutors' intention to summon Solis marks a notable change in their approach, aiming to introduce recordings made by Solis during his time as an FBI mole. Additionally, the prosecutors are seeking to introduce evidence related to efforts to pay ex-aide Kevin Quinn following his departure over a sexual harassment scandal, which was previously excluded from the ComEd Four case. Their 224-page filing also adds new details to the expected evidence.
