Former Illinois senator halts federal trial after abruptly admitting to fraud and money laundering
Fox News
Former Illinois lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate William “Sam" McCann has pleaded guilty to nine felony counts, including wire fraud, money laundering and tax evasion.
The seven counts of wire fraud and single count of money laundering each carry a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison. For tax evasion, it's three. But a complex set of advisory guidelines before Lawless, who set sentencing for June 20, will likely yield a far shorter term.
