Obama: No Foul Play with Blago

Statements

New statement says no "inappropriate discussions."

In a press conference last week, Barack Obama promised to review and make public any connections his campaign had with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Now, his staff is saying that an internal review shows that his team “was not involved in inappropriate discussions” with Blagojevich. An Obama spokesman also said that Obama’s lawyer has kept federal prosecutor afloat of the review in order to ensure cooperation. There’s no word of Rahm Emanuel’s alleged contact with Blagojevich. The details of the review won’t be available until at least the week of December 22, at the request of the prosecutors.
