Mike Madigan trial live updates: Ed Moody takes stand in ex-Illinois speaker trial

The morning was spent picking up where the trial left off Thursday.

Prosecutors have essentially called one FBI agent for each of the search warrants executed on the homes/offices of Mike McClain, Jay Doherty, Shaw Decremer, Ray Nice, Frank Olivo, Ed Moody and more.

These are the recipients of alleged no-work jobs from Madigan and the lobbyists who placed them on their payrolls.

The whole purpose has been to introduce into evidence all sorts of documents, including paystubs and invoices for the alleged no-work jobs, which, according to the FBI's fraud accountant, ran $1.3 million between 2012 and 2019.

Prosecutors say Moody was paid $354,750 between 2012 and 2018; Olivo was paid $368,000 from 2011-2019; Nice was paid $415,000 2012-2019; Michael Zalewski was paid $45,000 2018-2019 and Edward Acevedo received $120,000 2017-2019.

FBI Special Agent Austin Varga, who executed search warrant at Moody's residence on May 14, 2019, testified first.

Private investigator Edward McNamara was next..

He executed a search at Mike McClain's home and vehicle.

FBI Special Agent Anna Olin next spoke on the search warrant at Shaw Decremer's multi-unit condominium on May 14, 2019.

FBI Special Agent Katharine Heide spoke before the lunch break.

Attorneys also addressed some code of conduct concerns at the beginning of the day.

Another FBI agent took the stand Thursday before the week wrapped up for the Madigan trial.

FBI special agent Jody Blau, who executed a search of Ray Nice's home near Midway, took the stand before court wrapped up for the day.

Court will resume Monday.

Several witnesses have been heard Thursday after Fidel Marquez wrapped up his testimony.

Patrick Comiskey, a public accountant and former Alderman Frank Olivo's son-in-law, testified before FBI Special Agent Brent Potter took the stand.

Potter was the third FBI agent to testify Thursday.

Current and former ComEd and Exelon employees testified Thursday.

John Gallaher, Tracy Favre and Elizabeth Lynch testified to the complete absence of records of the Madigan-recommended "subcontractors."

They also discussed the contracts they had with Doherty, Shaw-Decremer and the Roosevelt Group.

Gallaher is now retired, but worked at Exelon for 41 years in Pennsylvania.

He said, when asked to search the records for Ray Nice, Frank Olivo, Ed Moody and Mike Zalewski, he found none.

Favre works in ComEd's governmental affairs in Springfield.

She managed IT work, lobbyist filings and registrations, and worked on legislative agenda for ComEd.

She reported to Hooker and later to Marquez.

She spoke about some of the Springfield lobbying and pieces of legislation.

Lynch explained Exelon's financial record keeping, payment of records to lobbyists and approval of invoices and contracts.

FBI Special Agent Michael Borkan was up on the stand after Lynch, followed by FBI Supervisor Special Agent Michael Fee.
