Now federal prosecutors are also asking questions about Blagojevich's "Summer Youth Works" initiative. The Associated Press has obtained a copy of a federal subpoena seeking records from the state Department of Human Services related to the initiative.
At least a third of the state government internships Blagojevich officials handed out were reserved for people with connections to $400,000 in campaign contributions to him. The University of Illinois kept a list of at least 800 applicants with clout. Federal prosecutors subpoenaed records last fall related to state grants to organizations with ties to a state senator who has since resigned from the Legislature.
