Washington  - Illinois Senator Roland Burris, who filled Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat last month, acknowledged in documents made public Saturday that the state's governor's brother sought donations from him.

Burris, 71, claimed that he didn't respond to the request, which came in the months before his appointment as senator.

Springfiled (Illinois, US), Jan. 30 : Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was impeached by the state Senate on Thursday by unanimous 54-0 vote.

The outcome was never in doubt. In fact, Quinn went to the state Capitol earlier in the day to prepare to be sworn in.
