EXCLUSIVE: Ex-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich says new lawsuit would open door to run for office
WLSCHICAGO (WLS) -- Former Illinois governor and convicted felon Rod Blagojevich has told the ABC7 I-Team that he plans to go to federal court on Monday in an effort to open the door to another possible run for statewide office.
Blagojevich says that on Monday afternoon he will return to the same Chicago courthouse where political life as he knew it came to a screeching halt more than a decade ago.
This time though, the former Illinois governor would return to the courthouse on his own fruition to take action against the government and not in handcuffs while in the custody of the government.
Nearly a year and a half after the former Illinois governor was freed from federal prison after serving eight years for corruption he wants the door re-opened to run for statewide office again.
