Blagojevich Refuses to Resign

HeadlineDec 22, 2008

On Friday, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich spoke publicly for the first time since his arrest on corruption charges. Blagojevich said he was innocent and that he would not resign.

Rod Blagojevich: “I’m here to tell you right off the bat that I am not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, that I intend to stay on the job, and I will fight this thing every step of the way. I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath. I have done nothing wrong. And I’m not going to quit a job the people hired me to do because of false accusations and a political lynch mob.”
