In the spring of 2010 Rod Blagojevich was on President Trump's show Celebrity Apprentice, where he first became acquainted with President Trump. Later that summer, on August 17th 2010 Blagojevich was charged with corruption in relation to his Illinois Senate seat. He was impeached from the Illinois General Assembly and removed from office by the Illinois Senate. After a mistrial due to a hung jury, Blagojevich was retried and found guilty of 17 charges and sentenced to 14 years in prison on July 27th, 2011. At a time when the world was against him, it was President Trump that tweeted about his mistreatment in the case. Even though Blagojevich maintained his innocence the entire time, he received no support from then President Barack Obama. On February 10th 2025, Governor Rod Blagojevich received a full pardon from President Trump. Today, he is with us to talk about his incredible journey.
