Blagojevich Will Speak at Impeachment Trial
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) “reversed course and accepted the Illinois Senate’s challenge to explain in person why it shouldn’t toss him out of office Thursday in a historic impeachment vote,” the Chicago Tribune reports.
“After boycotting the trial since its Monday opening, explaining to national TV audiences that he would not dignify an unfair process, Blagojevich asked Wednesday for permission to address senators with a 90-minute closing argument. His appearance, expected to receive Senate approval, would be followed by roll-call votes that could not only remove him as governor but bar him from holding future office.”
