Trump is expected to pardon ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich 5 years after commuting his sentence
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump plans to pardon former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted in 2011 for political corruption and sentenced to 14 years in prison. Trump previously commuted Blagojevich’s sentence during his first term, cutting it short after he served eight years. Blagojevich, who participated in Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” in 2010, has drawn attention as Trump linked his case to investigations of his own conduct. The decision to pardon follows Blagojevich’s conviction on 18 counts, with some later overturned by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Axios initially reported on the expected pardon.
