CHICAGO, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants outspoken U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald off his corruption case, court records say.
Attorneys for the governor asked a federal judge in a sealed motion to keep Fitzgerald and his team from prosecuting the case, The Chicago Tribune said Friday. They cited Fitzgerald's use of language as he made allegations that Blagojevich had tried to sell a U.S. Senate.
