Official: Illinois Gov. may step aside Monday
Posted: 11:58 AM ET
(CNN) — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said Sunday that embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich may step aside on Monday.

“We have heard that there is a possibility that tomorrow he will make an announcement that he will step aside,” Madigan told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

She added, “I don’t know if that means he will resign or take another option that’s provided under the Illinois constitution where he can voluntarily recognize that there is serious impediment to his ability to carry out his duties and, therefore, temporarily remove himself.”

Blagojevich did not immediately respond to calls from CNN Sunday.
