NPR's Guy Raz reports from Berlin that former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl faced another day of testimony before the parliament today about illegal donations to his political party, the Christian Democratic Union. As before, Kohl refused to name the donors who gave the party some one million dollars in undeclared contributions. He says he promised the donors anonymity, and won't break his word. Kohl denies his government traded favors for the money, as well as allegations that his government accepted bribes from a French company to purchase a German oil refinery.
