Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), in addition to his wife and brother-in-law, is under federal criminal investigation for a controversial tax break on his mansion – which he received after removing all of the estate’s toilets making it uninhabitable. (Fox News)
Pritzker – a Democrat who took office earlier this year – has been the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation since last October, although no criminal charges have been brought against him, a law enforcement source told Chicago radio station WBEZ.
“I’m very confident that any review of this matter will show that all the rules were followed,” Pritzker said Wednesday during a press conference. “I have not been contacted by any law enforcement, neither has MK (Pritzker’s wife).”
Pritzker went on to call the matter “a political issue” raised by his opponents during last year’s gubernatorial campaign and said he was focused on his work as governor.

Marc Elias, a lawyer representing the Prtizkers, added to WBEZ that neither the governor nor his wife has been contacted by law enforcement officials about the matter, and denied any wrongdoing on the part of his clients.
Ilinois voters haven’t forgotten about the memorable ads pummeling Pritzker for his alleged property tax scheme. It seems the feds haven’t either.
