A federal judge today authorized the release of audio tapes of secret wiretaps of conversations between Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) and former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's brother to a Senate ethics committee, the Chicago Sun Times reports.
"The recording at issue took place last November and involves discussions between Friends of Blagojevich campaign fund chair Robert Blagojevich and Burris regarding fund-raising for the ex-governor."
