The evidence is presented and President Donald Trump becomes ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s last hope.
With almost everyone believing that he was guilty, ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich fought back on national TV.
The FBI recorded Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s phone calls for almost six weeks. What they heard shocked them.
Who is Rod Blagojevich? A retail politician who was great at working a room. But his obsession with climbing the ladder brought him down.
The trouble started soon after Rod Blagojevich became Governor of Illinois. A federal investigation began and a powerful political family tore itself apart.
After Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested, he got a 14-year prison sentence. Then, on Feb. 18, 2020, President Trump commuted him.
