President Donald Trump is expected to pardon former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Fox News has learned.
Blagojevich, a former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant, served eight years in prison on charges stemming from his effort to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat after Obama won the 2008 presidential election.
