Blagojevich to give own closing argument
January 28, 2009 3:56 PM

Gov. Rod Blagojevich will come to Springfield to make the closing argument in his own impeachment trial Thursday.

Lucio Guerrrero, Blagojevich's spokesman, said the governor wants to defend himself and also is responding to comments made by Senate President John Cullerton, who has urged Blagojevich to appear.

"Sen. Cullerton asked him to come down," Guerrero said. "So he's taking him up on that and wants to give his closing arguments... That's something he wanted to do."

Word of the governor's request to appear was delivered by a top aide to one of Cullerton's top staffers only moments before Cullerton announced the governor's plans on the Senate floor.

"I've been informed that the governor would like to come here tomorrow and (ask) leave of us to file an appearance," Cullerton told the Senate. "We would have to give him permission to do that, I would urge us all to give him that leave so he can argue as his own attorney.
