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.
