(Chicago, IL) — The Illinois Supreme Court is disbarring former Governor Rod Blagojevich for his conviction of corrupt schemes during his tenure. After serving nearly eight years, Blagojevich was released from a Colorado prison in February after President Trump commuted the former governor’s 14-year prison sentence. Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office after being convicted in 2011. He was found guilty of seeking to sell an appointment to Barack Obama’s old Senate seat and trying to shake down a children’s hospital. Back in March, the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission recommended Blagojevich be disbarred.
