Retrial Looms for Ex-CEO and Lobbyist

Retrial Looms for Ex-CEO and Lobbyist

Published 3 days, 3 hours ago
Description

Former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore and lobbyist Michael McClain may face a retrial after a federal appeals court tossed out their bribery and conspiracy convictions tied to former House Speaker Michael Madigan — a move triggered by a Supreme Court ruling that redefined federal bribery law. While the court upheld evidence of record-falsification, it questioned whether the jury could fairly decide conspiracy charges without the now-invalidated bribery counts. The U.S. Attorney’s office is now weighing whether to pursue a new trial, leaving the outcome uncertain but the legal drama far from over.
