After just five weeks of testimony, prosecutors in Rod Blagojevich's case say they'll rest their case on Tuesday.
The government's case was expected to last until August.
The defense asked if they could start their case the following week. Judge James Zagel said that was unlikely, but he might give them until Wednesday or Thursday to begin.
The trial has adjourned for the week and will pick back up on Monday.
