Judge scolds former Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson over restitution issues but grants stay pending appeal
A federal judge Thursday scolded former Chicago Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson for failing to comply with the terms of his supervised release, but in the end agreed to stay an order that Thompson pay $50,000 in restitution to federal banking regulators pending the outcome of his appeal.
Thompson’s attorney, Chris Gair, told the judge Thursday that Thompson in no way tried to skirt the obligations of his supervised release, and that the issues were largely due to a series of “miscommunications and misunderstandings.”“If there was a mistake, the person who should be admonished is me, not Mr. Thompson,” Gair said.
Thompson is now earning about $4,000 a month as a self-employed consultant, Gair said, though further details on his clients or the nature of the work were not revealed in court. “He decided not to pay it because he thinks it’s going to be reversed on appeal,” Petersen said. “Maybe it will be and maybe it won’t be, but the appropriate thing to do at that point was to come to the court.”

Federal judge calls out City of San Marcos in 'Trump Train' incidentA federal judge called out the City of San Marcos in court in a case involving an incident that happened during the 2020 presidential election with a 'Trump Train.' The train with more than 40 vehicles driven by Trump supporters made national news after Biden staffers were surrounded on a campaign bus, saying they were harassed and San Marcos law enforcement didn't do enough to help them in 2020. The staffers sued the city in 2021, and earlier this year, those same staffers said the City of San Marcos didn't keep good track of the incident records. A federal judge agreed and said San Marcos was 'out of line.' Both sides have until Friday to reach an agreement on attorney fees.
