Blago Attorney Says Feds Keeping Evidence From Him
CHICAGO (AP) -- Rod Blagojevich's attorney complains prosecutors are unfairly refusing to show the defense team key evidence in the former governor's corruption case.

Sam Adam said in court papers filed Wednesday the evidence he wants to see includes reports of any interviews prosecutors conducted with President Obama.

Adam said such evidence is needed to overcome "horrendously prejudicial public feeling" against Blagojevich created by remarks made by Chicago's top federal prosecutor.

Adam scoffed at claims by prosecutors that providing lists of witnesses could lead to pressure on the witnesses, saying the defendant was Blagojevich not Tony Soprano.
