Obama released a statement just a few minutes ago that confirmed he had no inappropriate contact with Gov. Blagojevich or his staff.  The statement said the transition office reviewed contacts between the Governor’s office and transition staff, but from what FNC read, the statement only mentioned that Obama’s public statements were true.

The staff won’t release the report until Dec. 22 at the behest of Patrick Fitzgerald, according to the report.

Update: Fitzgerald confirms that he requested the report be held.
