Judge seals files on gov interview

A day after it was made public, a federal judge on Friday sealed a court filing that revealed that Gov. Blagojevich had been interviewed by federal agents.

According to the document, Blagojevich denied having conversations described in court by two key prosecution witnesses in the corruption trial of Tony Rezko, a former Blagojevich adviser and fund-raiser. The witnesses testified that the governor made statements tying state business to financial support for his campaign.

U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve ordered the document sealed again, without explanation. She acted on her own. No one requested that the document be sealed.

It might have been made public in error. The filing, authored by Rezko's lawyers, also contained a brief reference to the private life of witness Stuart Levine. St. Eve previously ruled that details involving Levine's "secret life" should not be made public. Levine testified he took part in multiple drug binges with other men at area hotels, including Lincolnwood's Purple Hotel.

Rezko, 52, was convicted earlier this month of widespread corruption and fraud involving state deals.
