Judge May Unveil Blagojevich Document
CHICAGO (AP) -- A federal judge says he may make public large portions of a sealed document outlining the government's corruption case against former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Judge James Zagel said Friday that he'll decide next week and gave defense attorneys until Monday to suggest any deletions. They want the document to remain under seal.

Defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky says he assumes the judge will unseal much of the document. Prosecutors say it contains previously undisclosed facts about the case.

The Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times and The Associated Press have asked Zagel to unseal the document, known as a Santiago proffer.
