‘The speaker wanted me to reach out to you’: Jurors in ‘ComEd Four’ case see evidence from FBI raid on City Club, Jay Doherty’s condo
The four defendants charged in the ComEd bribery scheme are, from left, consultant Jay Doherty, lobbyist and former ComEd executive John Hooker, retired lobbyist Michael McClain and former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore.
The voicemails gave jurors their first opportunity to hear the voice of Ed Moody, the former Cook County official and longtime precinct captain in former House Speaker Michael Madigan’s 13th Ward fiefdom.The raid on the Wrigley Building office of the City Club, a forum for public and civic leaders, came on May 14, 2019, the day after the group featured a speech by U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley on China and a day before U.S.
On the phone was an October 2016 voicemail from Moody saying the speaker wanted him to call Doherty. “Hey Jay, this is uh, Ed Moody calling. The speaker wanted me to reach out to you, if you would you please return my call.
Moody is not charged in the case and is expected to be called as a prosecution witness before the government rests, possibly as soon as Tuesday.
