He’s back.
Ex-Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich — a man who never saw a microphone he didn’t like — has filed a pretrial motion seeking what he says is missing evidence including records of a phone call between Blagojevich aide John Harris and then White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, the Associated Press reported.
Blagojevich is set to face a second trial in Chicago on public corruption charges April 20. The first one ended in an embarrassment for prosecutors who got a conviction on only one of 24 counts — lying to an FBI agent. The jury deadlocked on the rest.
AP reports that the motion claims the missing telephone conversation took place just a day before Blagojevich’s December 2008 arrest.
AP reported that the motion says the conversation could help the defense.
