SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP)– Sen. Roland Burris admitted

in a document released Saturday that former

Gov. Rod Blagojevich's brother asked him for campaign

fundraising help before the governor appointed Burris

to the Senate.

The governor appointed Burris, a former state attorney general,

to the Senate seat on Dec. 30, three weeks after federal agents

arrested Blagojevich on a complaint alleging he had tried to trade

the appointment for campaign cash or a high-paying job.
