CHICAGO — The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the U.S. Attorney’s office will announce today the indictment of ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald’s office is expected to issue a press release and a court filing late this afternoon. The office has only said the matter involved a significant criminal matter.
Blagojevich, 52, was arrested in December on public corruption charges centering on a variety of deals including the filling of Pres. Obama’s senate seat. The indictment is the next step in the criminal matter.
