After more than five years behind bars, our former Governor of Illinois speaks out.

According to NBC 5 of Chicago, a one of one interview with Rod Blagojevich was declined, but two separate one-hour phone interview were allowed. The former Governor set no rules or restrictions with his interviews but wanted to talk about his case, five years later.
