After Rod Blagojevich was arrested in 2008 and convicted of attempting to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, his home on Sunnyside Avenue became a prime media target.

The ex-governor said he and the president were victims of 'lawfare' and didn't address rumors that he's being considered for an ambassadorship.

Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 on charges that included seeking to sell an appointment to then-President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat.
