Obama camp: No 'inappropriate' talks with Blagojevich

Barack Obama's transition team said Monday that the president-elect's staff did not have "inappropriate discussions" with Illinois Gov Rod Blagojevich (D) about who should replace Obama in the Senate. He added that the U.S. attorney's office requested that the release of the transition review be "deferred until the week of Dec. 22, in order not to impede their investigation of the governor."
