A federal judge on Thursday denied a request from Rod Blagojevich’s lawyers to release a report on President Obama’s interview with the FBI.You haven't heard the end of this one.
Agents interviewed Obama after Blagojevich’s 2008 arrest. At the time, Obama was president-elect and transitioning into the White House.
He was interviewed as part of the investigation into Blagojevich because the ex-governor was accused of plotting to sell Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat.
While FBI notes for other witnesses were turned over — including interviews with advisers Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett — Obama’s were not given to the defense.
