Rod Blagojevich disbarred by Illinois Supreme Court

The Illinois Supreme Court disbarred former state Gov. Rod Blagojevich months after he was released from prison by President Trump.

The court agreed to disbar Blagojevich formally on Monday at the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission’s request after the former governor’s prison sentence was commuted by Trump in February. Blagojevich did not fight the commission’s attempt to end his legal career permanently, saying that he would not be a good attorney after years behind bars and expressing no interest in returning to a legal practice.
