FBI agent also expected to testify Thursday
Former Majority Leader Lou Lang has taken the stand Thursday, in the federal corruption trial of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan .
Lang has testified in both the ComEd case and the trial of Madigan's former chief of staff last summer. Both testimonies delved into how Madigan sent Mike McClain to urge Lang to retire from the General Assembly after the speaker's office was warned of a woman who had threatened to go public with sexual harassment allegations if Lang did not step down.
Lang resigned two months after those phone calls were made, and while this incident has nothing to do with the bribery and racketeering case against the former speaker, his testimony, along with others Wednesday is meant to lay a foundation for the jury.: painting a picture of an all-powerful legislator who always got his way.One of the FBI agents, who for nine months wiretapped phone conversations between Madigan and McClain, is also expected to testify Thursday at the Dirksen Federal Building.
