By admin - Posted on November 23rd, 2009
November 20, 2009 -- WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) issued the following statement today following the Senate Ethics Committee’s finding regarding Senator Roland Burris:
“When we met with Roland Burris in January, we made it clear that in order for him to be seated in the U.S. Senate he needed to appear before the Illinois General Assembly to testify openly, honestly and completely about the nature of his relationship with the former governor, his associates and the circumstances surrounding this appointment.”
“Since then, the accuracy and completeness of his testimony and affidavits have been called into question. The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee has completed its review into this matter and found that Sen. Burris actions have brought discredit on him and the Senate. The letter of qualified admonition from the Ethics Committee speaks for itself.”
