After Mike Madigan was indicted, the former House speaker pleaded not guilty to corruption charges Wednesday in a federal arraignment.
The arraignment and initial court"appearance" was in name only. No one actually appeared in court or at the Dirksen Federal Building. As the I-Team first disclosed, Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cole had ordered the hearing be held via telephone-a function of continuing COVID-19 restrictions-although the impersonal proceeding allowed Madigan to avoid a"perp walk" through the lobby of the courthouse building.
The next hearing is scheduled for April 1 for Madigan and co-defendant Michael McClain, although that too is likely to be conducted by phone.
