Ill. governor: Convicted pal Rezko must tell truth

CHICAGO (AP) -- Governor Rod Blagojevich is calling on Tony Rezko to tell the truth, the day after federal prosecutors indicated that the convicted fundraiser might be cooperating with them.

Appearing at a ceremony Tuesday, Blagojevich wouldn't say whether he was worried about his future now that his friend and fundraiser may be talking to authorities.

Blagojevich hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing and insists he does things the right way.

Rezko, also a past fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama, was convicted of scheming to use his clout with the Blagojevich administration to squeeze kickbacks out of companies. Prosecutors are hinting he is cooperating by moving Monday to delay his sentencing.
