CHICAGO, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Roland Burris, named to fill the U.S. Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama, has disclosed he was asked for campaign contributions on behalf of the ousted Illinois governor who eventually appointed him.
Burris said in an affidavit released on Saturday he did not agree to contribute money to then-Governor Rod Blagojevich. But he did not mention the contacts when quizzed on that point in January by a committee of the Illinois Legislature after his appointment on Dec. 30.
