WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Federal investigators interviewed U.S. Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., on Saturday in Chicago, sources told the Chicago Tribune.
Burris has been advised that he is not a target of the investigation into former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who appointed Burris to the seat formerly held by President Obama. Burris recently admitted he had tried to help Blagojevich with fund-raising, which he did not acknowledge when questioned by Illinois legislators at a hearing that led to the impeachment of Blagojevich.
