Ex-Comcast executive’s testimony about Dougherty’s secret meeting differs with former Henon staffer’s account
Differing accounts of a secret 2015 meeting between Comcast executives and labor leader John Dougherty have emerged in his bribery trial.

Labor leader John Dougherty exits the federal courthouse.
The federal corruption trial of John Dougherty, a labor leader known widely as “Johnny Doc,” and City Councilmember Bobby Henon continues Wednesday, the eleventh day of the trial.
Prosecutors claim that Dougherty essentially bought himself a councilmember by continuing to pay Henon for a Local 98 job after his election, and in exchange, Henon allowed Dougherty to control his vote. Dougherty and Henon have denied the charges, which include conspiracy and honest services fraud.
On Wednesday, a former Comcast executive testified about a secret meeting involving Dougherty. But her account differed sharply from the testimony offered Tuesday by a former top staffer to Henon.
