A new investigation in the Chicago Tribune revealed that back in 2008, Democratic gubernatorial candidate JB Pritzker courted then-governor Rod Blagojevich in a series of phone calls, seeking a position in government.
The phone calls between the two men were picked up on wiretaps as the FBI investigated Blagojevich.
