CHICAGO (AP) — Gov. J.B. Pritzker says Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan “must resign” if allegations of corruption are true against the fellow Democrat long considered the state’s most powerful lawmaker.

A spokeswoman for Madigan denied wrongdoing.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says electric utility ComEd has agreed to pay $200 million to resolve a federal criminal investigation into a long-running bribery scheme that implicates Madigan. Federal prosecutors announced Friday that ComEd had admitted that it arranged jobs and contracts for people connected to someone identified as “Public Official A.” A deferred prosecution agreement for ComEd filed in federal court states that “Public Official A” is the Illinois House speaker.
