Former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore's statements stand in contrast to a multitude of emails and phone calls prosecutors have played in court over the last several weeks.
Defendant Anne Pramaggiore took the stand in the ComEd 4 trial involving former House Speaker Michael Madigan.Since this trial began, the defense has, at every turn, tried to convince the jury that offering jobs or contracts to people recommended by a public official is not bribery, but a way to create good will.

It's a role she denies ever playing.
Her statements, however, stand in contrast to a multitude of emails and phone calls prosecutors have played in court over the last several weeks, including a 2018 conversation between herself and fellow defendant and Madigan confidant Mike McClain, where they happily discuss her promotion to CEO of Exelon.
