Blagojevich to take stand at corruption trial

| From reuters.com
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, accused of conspiring to sell his office and barter President Barack Obama's old Senate seat, will try to persuade jurors in the defense phase of his corruption trial next week he was only engaging in politics as usual. It's an open question whether the tarring of Illinois' political culture -- the state's last two governors have been charged with corruption -- will rub off on President Obama and those of his senior staff who call...Read Full Story

Blagojevich corruption trial may touch Obama

| From reuters.com
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Even Rod Blagojevich's lawyer finds him a bit strange, which may provide the key to the former Illinois governor's strategy at his upcoming corruption trial -- he was all talk, but no action. Among the 24 counts of fraud, conspiracy, bribery and racketeering that could land Blagojevich a long prison sentence are charges he dangled President Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder or demanded a cabinet post for himself in exchange for naming an Obama...Read Full Story
