Another of the four defendants in the ComEd bribery case is also taking the witness stand in his own defense.
– Federal prosecutors got their chance to question former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore on Tuesday in the ComEd bribery trial.
Federal prosecutors drilled into Pramaggiore's testimony related to Madigan and her knowledge of his subcontractors. During that questioning, Pramaggiore brought up her interview with the federal government in 2019, something the jury didn't know about, opening that up for questioning too. A big focus of the cross-examination on Tuesday was Pramaggiore's knowledge of subcontractors, allies of Madigan.
But during cross-examination on Tuesday, prosecutors drilled holes in that testimony, pointing to a recorded call made with a ComEd executive in February of 2019, just months before Pramaggiore's cell phone was seized by the FBI. The executive alerted Pramaggiore there were ComEd subcontractors doing nothing but collecting checks.
