From the International Herald Tribune:
A committee of the Illinois House considering evidence and testimony in an impeachment inquiry against Governor Rod Blagojevich adjourned its first day of hearings after about an hour on Tuesday, after the governor’s lawyer and the federal prosecutor seeking to indict him both expressed concerns.
Members of the 21-member committee, appointed Monday, said that United States Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald had asked for them more details about the witnesses the committee planned to call in its hearings. Fitzgerald asked the committee for a formal letter outlining its plans, indicating some reluctance about having witnesses testify who might harm the federal case.
