Blago brother wants to testify about Jesse Jackson Jr. before ethics panel

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s brother is offering to testify before a Congressional ethics committee that last week relaunched its investigation of U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.).

Robert Blagojevich told the Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday that he has written to all 10 members of the U.S. House Committee on Ethics. He’s offering his testimony about Jackson’s effort to secure an appointment by then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich in late 2008 to fill the U.S. Senate seat left vacant with the election of President Barack Obama.

“Based on what I know, I believe Jesse Jackson Jr. has a lot of unanswered questions that he needs to answer,” Robert Blagojevich told the Sun-Times. “There are a lot of unanswered questions he should be required to answer.”
