Tim Mapes Sentenced to 2.5 Years for Perjury in Madigan Investigation

The former chief of staff to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, Tim Mapes, was sentenced for lying to protect his boss during a grand jury investigation.

Tim Mapes, former chief of staff to Michael Madigan, was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for perjury and attempted obstruction of justice.
Mapes was convicted of lying under oath to a grand jury investigating Madigan and his associates.
Prosecutors argued Mapes' lies were intended to obstruct a federal investigation into corruption at the highest levels of Illinois government.
Mapes' sentencing is part of a broader investigation that has seen multiple convictions related to public corruption in Illinois.
Madigan, who resigned amid the investigation, faces his own trial later this year on separate charges.
