Chicago Alderman Ed Burke will be tried on racketeering charges involving the Old Post Office and a Burger King in 2023, allowing him to run again.
CHICAGO -- The long-awaited federal racketeering trial of Chicago Ald. Edward M. Burke has been set for November 2023, giving the city's longest-serving City Council member an opportunity to seek reelection while facing federal criminal charges - again.
The feds' case against Burke has lingered for more than three years at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, thanks in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic and a mountain of pretrial motions filed in August 2020 that were only ruled upon last month.Federal prosecutors pushed for a trial date at a recent hearing, telling the judge,"There is a public interest in the trial here and in getting this trial date set in short order.
