CHICAGO (AP) - Former Illinois Gov. James R. Thompson said at media mogul Conrad Black's trial Tuesday he once took his wife for a three-day stay at a plush London hotel at the expense of the Hollinger newspaper empire.
The stay at Claridge's Hotel was in conjunction with a meeting of the Hollinger International board, headed by Black, and ended with an elegant dinner addressed by British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
"Who paid?" asked Black defense attorney Edward Greenspan.
