with Natahsa Korecki
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Niewoehner continues to ask Monk about the alleged horse-racing shakedown and plays a Nov. 13, 2008 call between Monk and Johnston.
"Tell the big guy I'm good for it," Johnston tells Monk, a reference that the $100,000 to Blagojevich's campaign fund might be coming.
In court, Blagojevich smiles and turns to look at his wife Patti when Johnston calls him "the big guy."
