- Blagojevich was convicted on 18 counts in 2011, including trying to sell an appointment to Barack Obama’s former Senate seat and pressuring a children’s hospital.
- He served eight years of a 14-year sentence before Trump shortened it in 2020.
- On February 10, 2025, Trump pardoned the former governor and said the conviction and prison sentence should not have occurred.
- The pardon cannot reverse the revocation of his law license; his 2009 impeachment by the Illinois Senate continues to bar him from state office under the state constitution, while it remains unclear whether he may seek federal office.
has abused his pardon power in inexplicable ways to reward his friends and condone corruption, and I deeply believe this pardon sends the wrong message at the wrong time.— J.B. Pritzker, Illinois governor, commenting on Trump's pardon of Rod Blagojevich
