Blagojevich Explains Obama's Involvement in Scandal that Sent Him to Prison

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich tries to get into his house as he arrives home in Chicago on Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020, after his release from Colorado prison late Tuesday.

Blagojevich walked out of prison Tuesday after President Donald Trump cut short the 14-year prison sentence handed to the former Illinois governor for political corruption.

Blagojevich was locked up for his involvement in selling Barack Obama's Senate seat after Obama won the presidency in 2008.

He had a few things he wanted to say about Barack Obama involvement in the whole event that became a scandal and sent him to prison as he spoke to Jesse Watters during "Watters' World" on Fox.

Watters asked Blagojevich to explain Obama's involvement in the event.

"President Obama began the whole conversation because he sent someone to me as a middleman, a mediator - not unusual in politics - on the night he was elected president to say that he'd like to talk about his choice for the Senate and to see what I might be willing to ask for," Blagojevich told him.

"Well, let me just say this, that the current president has trumped the former president when it comes to the testicular virility necessary to do the right thing and to undo injustice," Blagojevich told host Jesse Watters.
