Former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore held her ground while being cross-examined by a federal prosecutor in her corruption trial Tuesday, insisting that a secretly recorded call central to the feds’ case against her “proves my innocence.”
But Pramaggiore’s toe-to-toe encounter with Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Streicker may have left jurors with questions about her selective memory. That’s because they learned that Pramaggiore met with prosecutors months after the chat, in which she was told people paid by ComEd through a contractor “pretty much collect a check” without working, yet she claimed to have forgotten all about it.
