Blogojevich Solicted Burris for US Senate Seat | |
2009-02-14 | |
From the Kulture of Korruption Department: Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's brother solicited U.S. Sen. Roland Burris for up to $10,000 in campaign cash before Blagojevich named Burris to the coveted post -- something Burris initially failed to disclose under oath before an Illinois House impeachment panel, records and interviews show.
The affidavit is dated Feb. 5 -- three weeks after Burris was sworn in to replace President Obama in the Senate. | |
