Did Roland Burris offer to give then-Governor Rod Blagojevich a campaign donation and ask for the Senate appointment in the same phone call?
Audio was released Wednesday from a November conversation caught on an FBI wiretap in which Burris promised Governor Blagojevich’s brother that he’d write the governor a campaign check by mid-December.
U.S. District Chief Judge James Holderman approved the release of the federal wiretap Tuesday. The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee, which is investigating Burris, requested the tape and will be able to review it.
