CHICAGO (CBS) — President Trump will issue a pardon to former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich Monday, a White House official confirmed to CBS News. The development was first reported by Axios.
Blagojevich, who was originally sentenced to 14 years in prison on corruption charges for attempting to sell Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat after he won the White House in 2008, only served nearly eight years before being commuted in February 2020 during Mr. Trump's first presidency.
