Yesterday we reported that the shamed former governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, is part of the cast of Donald Trump’s season three of The Celebrity Apprentice. Prosecutors aired concerns Monday over Blagojevich potentially tainting jury pools for his upcoming federal corruption trial by discussing evidence; something the embattled politician has repeatedly done in interviews.
The Celebrity Apprentice will air just as jurors are being chosen for the trial, which is scheduled to start June 3. Anything Blagojevich might say about the evidence may cause complications, said prosecutors to U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel. Mr. Blagojevich has “repeatedly commented on the evidence” during appearances on both TV and radio shows since he was indicted on charges of “scheming to trade or sell President Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat” according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar.
