Blago judge says most wiretaps to stay sealed

A federal judge in Chicago says he'll largely turn down media requests for access to sealed documents in former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's political corruption case.

U.S. District Judge James Zagel said Wednesday he does tentatively plan to unseal a smattering of what news organizations want public -- snippets of a motion filed by lawyers for Blagojevich co-defendant William Cellini.

The Cellini document had been sought by the Chicago Tribune, CNN and WLS-TV.

CNN and WLS had also sought access to FBI wiretaps of Blagojevich's phone conversations in the days before his arrest.

Blagojevich is accused of scheming to sell or trade President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat and of illegally squeezing business executives for campaign money.

Blagojevich has denied any wrongdoing.
