Teaser of the Week: Chicago Edition

Approaching the end of a week already dominated by judiciary events, The Associated Press is running an intriguing story announcing that Chicago-based U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is poised this afternoon to announce new public corruption charges against an unnamed elected official.

According to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office, there are two separate criminal cases. One involves public corruption and the other involves racketeering, armed robberies, arson and illegal gambling.

The announcement is set to come at 2 p.m. CDT. No mention if the cases involve federal, state or local officials. The AP is quick to point out that federal officials have been investigating all three.
