CHICAGO | Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says in a new book that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel wanted his help in arranging to leave the Obama administration after two years to reclaim his seat in Congress.
Blagojevich writes in "The Governor" that Emanuel spoke with him about whether it was possible to appoint a "placeholder" to the congressional seat Emanuel was giving up so that he could win back the seat and eventually become House speaker .
A spokeswoman for Emanuel declined comment. Blagojevich, who was impeached and thrown out of office in January, is scheduled to stand trial next year on a variety of charges.
