WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump came under fire on Tuesday for commuting the sentence of Rod Blagojevich, the ex-Illinois governor convicted of trying to peddle Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat.
Within hours, the Chicago Tribune quoted a U.S. Bureau of Prisons statement saying Blagojevich “is no longer in custody” at a federal detention center in Colorado. Trump’s decision was criticized by both Democrats and Republicans, although some Democrats supported the move. “The pardoning of these disgraced figures should be treated as another national scandal by a lawless executive,” said Democratic U.S. Representative Bill Pascrell, referring to Blagojevich and Milken.
