The Honorable (or not) Senator Roland Burris, appointed by former Governor and future felon Rod Blagojevich, is currently "under an ethical cloud" according to Politico.
One of the conditions of Burris' appointment was that he testify to the investigating committee that he had not been approached by Blago for campaign contributions. Burris testified that he had not been approached.
He later submitted an affidavit stating that he had been approached by the Governor's brother, and asked to contribute.
If what is being reported in the story is true, then it seems pretty clear that Burris committed perjury.
