伊利诺斯州共和党敦促特朗普拒绝赦免 被定罪的前议长迈克尔·马迪根 Illinois Republicans urge Trump to deny pardon for convicted former Speaker Michael Madigan.

伊利诺伊州共和党代表Mary Miller、Mike Bost和Darin LaHood敦促特朗普总统拒绝赦免前伊利诺伊州众议院议长Michael Madigan, Illinois Republican Representatives Mary Miller, Mike Bost, and Darin LaHood are urging President Trump to deny a pardon for Michael Madigan, the former Illinois House Speaker convicted on bribery and fraud charges. 他们辩称,赦免马迪根会破坏政府的廉正,并发出公共腐败不会产生任何后果的信息。 They argue that pardoning Madigan would undermine government integrity and send a message that public corruption has no consequences. 马迪根曾批评特朗普并誓言反对他，但在特朗普决定不确定的情况下，尤其是在他此前赦免了前伊利诺伊州州长罗德·布拉戈耶维奇之后，他面临赦免审查。 Madigan, who has criticized Trump and vowed to oppose him, faces clemency review amid uncertainty over Trump’s decision, especially after he previously pardoned former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
