Springfield, Ill. – The Senate impeachment trial of Governor Rod Blagojevich resumes Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the senators weighing Blagojevich's political fate listened to the governor's own voice captured on a secret recording, and they heard an FBI agent testify that government wiretaps caught statements pointing to one corrupt scheme after another.
Next they'll hear accusations that Blagojevich unconstitutionally defied the Legislature, evaded state hiring laws and wasted tax dollars.
The governor was arrested last month on a variety of corruption charges, including scheming to benefit from appointing President Barack Obama's U.S. Senate replacement.
