According to a story in the Chicago Tribune, Governor Rod Blagojevich had met with federal investigators twice nearly two years ago. In fall 2005, Blagojevich's office acknowledged that the governor had been interviewed by federal investigators about allegations raised by his father-in-law, Ald. Richard Mell (33d), that the administration had traded appointments to state boards and commissions in exchange for campaign contributions.
At a major fund raiser on Thursday night, Blagojevich said, "We can't just rely on all this good press we've been getting these days." In March 2007, Blagojevich failed to answer if he had been interviewed by federal investigators after 2005. Blagojevich's campaign fund has disclosed it has been billed more than $2 million in legal fees.
