ON THE RECORD: Blagojevich Hints at US Trying to Build A Case Against Obama?

"Blagojevich said that in late 2008, having just arrived in his jail cell, investigators approached him for information.

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich sits down with ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross for an interview August 20, 2010.

"When they had me in custody they were very clear about they wanted me to cooperate and talk about people in higher places ,and with all due respect to Mayor Daley, there's no one higher than Governor," he said.

"You're talking about then president-elect Obama?" Ross asked.

"I'm not saying that right now." Asked who else he could mean, Blagojevich shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Is it your impression they were thinking about Obama?" Ross pressed.

"I have my own personal opinion but from where I'm sitting right now it's probably better for me not to talk about it." He then grinned, "If I'm guilty of anything it's that I talk too much." "
