Tony Rezko Gave Feds Information On Blagojevich, Complaint Confirms
While allegations that Gov. Rod Blagojevich tried to sell a Senate seat have grabbed the headlines, the complaint filed against him contained a nugget that might have once been front-page news: One-time confidant Antoin "Tony" Rezko has given federal authorities damaging information about the governor.
The government isn't satisfied Rezko is giving a complete version of events, an FBI affidavit filed in the case said, "but in broad terms Rezko's account incriminates Rod Blagojevich in a pay-to-play criminal scheme."
