The ex-governor was arrested in December for allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat.
The committee is investigating inconsistencies in Burris' testimony in front of the Illinois House Impeachment Committee regarding "pay to play."
Burris has legal problems in Springfield as well. The office of Sangamon County State's Attorney John Schmidt is conducting an investigation of the Chicago Democrat related to that same testimony.
Burris and Blago were opponents in the 2002 Democratic gubernatorial primary. Then-State Senator Barack Obama endorsed Burris in that contest.
