Dunn’s firm, SKDK, a public affairs and political communications firm in Illinois, partnered with the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund between 2018 and 2019 to represent a woman who had accused then-Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan of retaliating against her for claims of sexual harassment. At the same time, Dunn was retained by Madigan to respond to the allegations, according to a report by NPR.
“They never told me that they were also working for Michael Madigan and had they disclosed that with me, I would have never applied for legal funding or PR support with them,” said the woman, Alaina Hampton, to NPR.
