A Democratic governor who was impeached and removed from office wrote from prison, suggesting that his party abused the U.S. Constitution in impeaching Republican President Donald Trump.

Rod Blagojevich was convicted of federal corruption charges for soliciting bribes to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, along with other charges, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2011. He was removed as governor of Illinois in 2009.
