The Obama transition team will reportedly release the results of their investigation of any contacts between themselves and Illinois governor Rod Blagjevich today. The report is expected to show that there were no inappropriate contacts between the two teams. The Obama transition team had delayed releasing the report at the request of prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.

President-elect Barack Obama's transition office is ready to release an internal review of all contacts his staff had with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's office over the Senate seat that Obama has vacated and that the governor is accused of putting up for sale.

The report's release, expected Tuesday, comes as Obama is vacationing in Hawaii. Obama said last week he wants to answer questions about conversations his aides had over filling his Senate seat because nothing inappropriate took place. But he kept the details private while the federal investigation continues.
