The Hill:

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) Friday issued a subpoena to Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin (D) to testify at his corruption trial.

NBC Chicago reported that Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat, said that the former governor, who was removed from office in Jan. 2009, demanded that he testify.

Durbin revealed the subpoena after he spoke on behalf of Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias (D).

On Thursday, Blagojevich’s defense attorneys said they wanted to subpoena President Barack Obama to take the witness stand at the trial.

Blagojevich is charged by federal authorities with attempting to use his office for personal gain and for attempting to sell Obama’s former Senate seat after he was elected president in 2008.
