How an FBI mole at the 2016 Democratic National Convention helped launch one of the most significant public corruption cases in Chicago history.
A who’s who of Illinois Democrats was gathered in Philadelphia in July 2016 for the party’s national convention, where Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were vying for the chance to take on Donald Trump. Among the Chicago heavyweights in attendance that week was Ald. Daniel Solis, a staunch Clinton supporter who told the Tribune the excitement of potentially having the first woman in U.S.
If Solis does get called to the witness stand, it will mark a dramatic moment that has been more than four years in the making. Solis announced his abrupt retirement in late 2018, shortly before the FBI raid on Burke’s offices. But it wasn’t until a bombshell court filing was made public several months later that the lid was blown on Solis’ cooperation.
