CHICAGO — A county prosecutor exploring possible perjury charges against U.S. Sen. Roland Burris has asked federal officials for FBI tapes of phone conversations between Burris and ousted Gov. Rod Blago jevich’s brother, an individual with knowledge of the case said Friday.
Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Schmidt wants to compare the taped conversations with what Burris said under oath before the House panel that voted to impeach Blagojevich, said the individual, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter could come before a grand jury.
