The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A federal grand jury has subpoenaed records on dozens of low-income housing projects built over the last 30 years by indicted businessman William F. Cellini, convicted political fund-raiser Tony Rezko and City Hall insider Allison S. Davis.
The mountain of documents the grand jury wants from the Illinois Housing Development Authority includes two projects in which President Obama has acknowledged playing a minor role. Both of those projects involved Rezko, a former fund-raiser for Obama. One of them included Davis, who was once Obama's boss at a small law firm.
The grand jury is the same panel that's investigating alleged corruption under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
It issued the subpoena Sept. 29, 2008, newly released records show.
Obama has been involved with some interesting people.
