Two Chicago Tribune reporters have written a book about Rod Blagojevich claiming that undercover tape-recordings caught the former Democrat governor saying he'd heard that convicted influence peddler Tony Rezko channeled $25,000 in cash to Barack Obama.
The book, "Golden: How Rod Blagojevich Talked Himself Out of the Governor's Office and into Prison," suggests Blagojevich was talking about an undisclosed payment to help Obama with his 2004 campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Obama defenders are saying the claim is completely false. However, like Sen. Harry Reid's claim about Romney's taxes, Obama needs to disprove this report, which according to the Tribune, the Feds took seriously enough to investigate.
