Blago Not Trusted with FBI Secrets
The Homeland Security department revoked Blagojevich's access to classified security information from the FBI and other federal agencies as soon as he was charged with trying to auction Obama’s Senate seat, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "Being the subject of a criminal complaint, no matter who you are, is a disqualification," said Homeland Security spokeswoman Amy Kudwa. In the past, Blagojevich received personal security briefings on events such as the alleged 2006 plot to blow up Sears Tower and the alleged 2006 plot to blow up planes traveling from London to America. Last year, Homeland Security officials revoked New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s clearance after it was revealed he was a client of a prostitution ring under investigation by the FBI.
