Sam Adam Jr., former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's lead attorney, is asking a judge to release him from the defense team ahead of Blagojevich's retrial on corruption charges, according to a Thursday court filing. A nearly $3 million fund Blagojevich drew on at his first trial to pay a team of more than a dozen attorneys has run dry. Now that taxpayers must foot the bill for Blagojevich's defense, federal Judge James Zagel has said he'll allow the impeached governor to have only two attorneys.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s lead attorney is asking a judge to release him from the defense team ahead of Blagojevich’s retrial on corruption charges, according to a Thursday court filing.
Sam Adam Jr., who delivered a sometimes theatrical opening and closing at Blagojevich’s first trial, will officially ask to withdraw from the case at a Friday hearing, said another Blagojevich attorney, Sheldon Sorosky. U.S. District Judge James Zagel has the final say in whether Adam can leave.
