CHICAGO — There’s no evidence Barack Obama knew that Rod Blagojevich may have sought to trade an appointment to the president-elect’s vacated U.S. Senate seat for a Cabinet post or other top administration job, the judge at the ousted Illinois governor’s retrial said Monday.
Judge James Zagel refused a request from defense lawyers to let them look at FBI interview notes with Obama to see if he ever reported to authorities that Blagojevich had tried to trade the Senate appointment.
