Blagojevich in August 2006, as Governor of Illinois, under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to disclose his federal grand jury subpoena. Blagojevich refused, claiming that if such subpoenas existed, disclosure is preempted by federal law.

The Federal Rule imposes grand jury secrecy on (i) a grand juror; (ii) an interpreter; (iii) a court reporter; (iv) an operator of a recording device; (v) a person who transcribes recorded testimony; (vi) an attorney for the government; or (vii) a person to whom disclosure, whom the attorney for the government considers necessary to assist in performing that attorney's duty to enforce federal criminal law.
