Madigan, the former leader of the state Democratic Party, has been told to appear virtually for a hearing before U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey over whether his landmark trial should be postponed pending a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in a Chicago-area bribery case.
At issue Wednesday is whether the April 1 trial date should stand in light of the Supreme Court's decision last month to take up the petition of James Snyder, the former mayor of Portage, Indiana convicted of taking bribes from a trucking company.
