Clemency for Rod Blagojevich. President Donald Trump commuted the prison sentence for the former Governor. Trump said on an airport tarmac that he felt Blago’s sentence was too harsh and it was time for his children to see him more.

Blagojevich was originally scheduled to serve 14 years in prison. The 63-year-old former Governor was being held in a federal penitentiary in Colorado. His actual release date from prison is still unknown but it’s expected to happen fairly quickly.
