Schwarzenegger met with Enron officials secretly during energy crisis
Now claims he 'can't remember'

"Internal Enron e-mails confirm that Arnold Schwarzenegger was among a small group of executives who met with Ken Lay at the posh Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel in May of 2001, in the midst of California's energy crisis. The meeting with Enron occurred ten days after rolling blackouts darkened California for two consecutive days; Schwarzenegger has previously said that he does not remember such a meeting.

"'You don't meet with America's most well-known corporate crook in the middle of California's biggest financial disaster and not remember,' said FTCR's senior consumer advocate Douglas Heller. 'Mr. Schwarzenegger should come clean about what happened at that meeting and if he shares Ken Lay's views on energy regulation.'" (thanks to democrats.com)
