Washington, DC -(Effingham Radio)- Supporters of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich are once again hoping for a presidential pardon.
They have their hopes up after President Trump tweeted support for Patti Blagojevich.
The former Illinois first lady was on Fox News over the weekend comparing her husband’s case to the campaign finance charges against the president’s former lawyer.
Mrs. Blagojevich says federal prosecutors are trying to criminalize politics.
Her husband is about halfway through his 14 year sentence for trying to sell President Obama’s former Senate seat.
