Blagojevich may call Obama to testify

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Ousted former Illinos Gov. Rod Blagojevich's lawyers are contemplating calling President Obama as a witness in the ex-governor's upcoming trial, defense attorneys told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Blagojevich attorney Sam Adam Jr. said Monday the former governor's defense team has made an early request for any information regarding last year's FBI interview of then-President-elect Barack Obama because it is weighing whether to call the president as a witness in the June trial.

At least one expert, however, said that the defense will have to clear substantial hurdles to make that happen.

Adam said he expects a lengthy undertaking should he try to call Obama as a witness.
