United States President Donald Trump will pardon former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich today, the Associated Press (AP) reports.
In 2008, Blagojevic was accused of trying to sell his senatorial seat, and for this reason he was first dismissed, and then in 2011 sentenced to 14 years in prison.
He spent eight years in prison, until February 2020, when Trump commuted his sentence and allowed him to be released from prison.
With the current pardon, Blagojević will be completely freed from the legal consequences stemming from the court verdict at the time.
Blagojevic, an American politician of Serbian descent, recently visited Serbia and spoke with President Aleksandar Vučić, and local media reported that there is a possibility that he could be appointed ambassador to Belgrade.
