Secretly Recorded Phone Calls Played at Blagojevich Trial
---------------------------------------------------------



In Illinois, the impeachment trial of Democratic Governor Rod
Blagojevich continued for a second day Tuesday. Blagojevich is
boycotting the proceedings. State senators heard six minutes of tape in
which Blagojevich discusses signing legislation in return for a campaign
contribution. Blagojevich has said the tapes are being taken out of
context.
