Illinois Senator under fire; accused of perjury

(NECN/ABC) - During the House impeachment hearings, Senator Roland Burris only mentioned prior contact with one former Blagojevich staff member. The Illinois freshman Senator failed to mention contact with 5 others, including Rod Blagojevich's brother. Burris says he never meant to mislead anyone. He says he wasn't given the opportunity to fully answer, which the Senator says is why he decided to reveal the information in a new affidavit. WLS News reporter Sarah Schulte has more on the story.
