Former Blagojevich adviser Christopher Kelly to plead guilty

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Another card may have fallen in the governor's house of cards. Christopher Kelly - one of Gov. Blagojevich's closest advisers, fund-raisers and friends - is set to plead guilty in his federal criminal case, according to a court filing.

Kelly was charged last year with failing to report gambling proceeds. He was not charged with conduct related to state deals but is widely known to be under scrutiny for fund-raising schemes under Blagojevich.

Court records show Kelly is scheduled to plead guilty Jan. 16.
