Portion of grand jury testimony by former Madigan chief of staff Tim Mapes to be made public today in obstruction case
House Speaker Michael Madigan's chief of staff Tim Mapes at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield on June 30, 2015.
The order by U.S. District Judge John Lee came after Mapes’ attorney, Andrew Porter, filed a motion to dismiss under seal last week out of “an abundance of caution,” since grand jury testimony typically is kept secret. Mapes is one of the closest advisers from Madigan’s extremely small circle of trusted associates to face federal charges. He has denied wrongdoing and has maintained that federal authorities are attempting to squeeze him to give up incriminating information on Madigan.
Mapes’ attorneys, meanwhile, filed a second motion on Friday asking that references to him being granted immunity by prosecutors be stricken from the indictment against him.
