U.S. Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill) announced a 3:30 p.m. news conference to address
revelations by the Sun-Times that he initially failed to disclose fund-raising contacts with ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich's brother.
In the meantime, GOP lawmakers are calling on a perjury investigation into Burris' and Gov. Quinn told the Sun-Times that Burris must come clean with Illinoisans about what happened leading up to his appointment and why his story has continued to evolve.
"My opinion is that he owes the people of illinois a complete explanation," the governor told the Sun-Times.
