Lang testified in both the ComEd case and the trial of Madigan’s former chief of staff last summer. Both testimony delved into how Madigan sent Mike McClain to urge Lang to retire from the General Assembly after the president’s office was tipped off about a woman who had threatened to go public with sexual harassment allegations if Lang did not resign.

Former state representative Scott Drury finished his testimony Wednesday morning.

Both he and former Rep. Carol Sente spoke Tuesday about how their legislative careers were negatively impacted or cut short after clashing with the Speaker of the House for various reasons.

They also talked about how he replaced committee members when he saw fit.

ComEd Vice President of Energy Strategy and Policy Scott Vogt will also testify on Wednesday.

He said ComEd has paid attention to the legislation in an effort to help the company.

The trial could last three months.
