[reposting - Burris posts just disappeared for some reason]
Sen Burris makes a brief statement that. No questions.
BURRIS: We said in our testimony before impeachment committee…we would have to file additional information in our report…because it might be incomplete…we might not have answered all the questions.
When we got the transcript, it was determined - I had said yes in the transcript to all those name - but we had not addressed those names…..prompted me to file a separate affidavit that would show who we talked to and what was said.
There was no change of any of our testimony.
We followed up as we promised the Impeachment Committee.
We have done everything here that we said we would.
Whether it was prompted by the Feds?
Absolutely, positively not true.
However the Sun Times’ DAVE MCKINNEY, NATASHA KORECKI AND MAUREEN O’DONNELL report:
A source close to Burris Monday said that the senator was alerted he could be interviewed by the feds before his House testimony. The source said Burris had contact with feds about the potential interview before and after his testimony. But Monday he denied that contact had anything to do with that revised affidavit.
