WMBD/WYZZ - CHICAGO --  In a press conference today, Illinois State Republicans called for an investigation into whether Roland Burris perjured himself.

The Senator now admits former Governor Blagojevich's brother did ask him for fundraising help before Burris was appointed to fill president Obama's Senate seat. That contradicts his response under oath during the impeachment trial.

He testified he had not spoken to anyone associated with the governor while seeking the appointment. But Burris is revising his answer.

He now says the former Governor's brother had asked him to contribute to Blagojevich's campaign.
