A phone call between Rahm Emanuel and former Rod Blagojevich chief of staff John Harris is missing from the FBI wiretap records of the former governor. Blagojevich's attorneys filed a pre-trial motion today to have prosecutors include the conversation in the records on the belief that it can help Blagojevich's defense.

Blagojevich's attorneys contend that the details of the conversation between Emanuel and Harris, made a day before Blago's arrest, can establish that Emanuel was willing to help in a political deal to install Lisa Madigan to President Obama's former Senate seat.
