Blagojevich waits for indictment: I’m going to Saratoga Springs
At Disney World, that is.
With a federal corruption indictment expected against him at any time, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is vacationing at Disney World, reports Mike Robinson of The Associated Press.
The 52-year-old impeached governor and his family were apparently in Walt Disney World on Thursday. A hotel operator at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. connected a phone call to a room booked under Blagojevich. It went straight to voicemail, Robinson reports.
U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald has until Tuesday to get an indictment that would replace a complaint charging Blagojevich with plotting to trade or sell President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat and a host of other crimes.
