A federal grand jury has reindicted former Gov. Rod Blagojevich in an effort to avoid conflict with the honest services statute, which is under currently review by the U.S. Supreme Court. With the new indictment comes eight new charges including attempted extortion against then-Congressman Rahm Emanuel. Blagojevich now faces 24 counts in all. Prosecutors expect his trial to begin, on schedule, in June.
