Witness No. 2: Lon Monk

|
Witness #2 Lon Monk-former chief of staff for Blagojevich.

They go way back to their law school days in Malibu. Monk was a trusted confidante and even was an usher in Blagojevich's wedding.

There was virtually no eye contact between the two men when monk entered court today. Monk has plead guilty in this case and is cooperating with the Government in hopes of only serving two years in prison.

So far, no fireworks...Government is trying to show how monk and others were close to the ex-Gov...plotting together to make money off of the state.

More later...
