The trial of Tim Mapes is expected to continue Wednesday with the testimony of former state Rep. Lou Lang, who was forced to resign at Madigan’s behest in 2018 after sexual harassment allegations surfaced that he vehemently denied.
Tim Mapes, former chief of staff to House Speaker Michael Madigan, arrives at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago on Aug. 9, 2023.
Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, shown in 2014, sponsored a bill that passed the Illinois House on May 27, 2015, aimed at curbing heroin use and preventing overdose deaths. Prosecutors wrote in a recent court filing the episode demonstrates “as clear as day that Mapes knew McClain communicated with Madigan in 2018, because Mapes sets up that conversation.”
Lang, a Skokie Democrat who once considered himself a contender to replace Madigan as speaker, testified five months ago for the prosecution at the “ComEd Four” trial,of McClain, former ComEd CEO Anne Prammagiore, lobbyist John Hooker, and consultant and former City Club of Chicago head Jay Doherty.
