White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod continued the administration's offensive against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and conservative groups Sunday, saying there had to be a shady reason behind non-disclosure of donors who were helping fund the groups' campaign ads.

Like last Sunday, when Axelrod told CBS' Bob Schieffer that the burden was on the Chamber to disprove the allegations, Axelrod did not offer proof of the claims that have become a Democratic talking point in the last weeks before crucial midterm elections.

On CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, Axelrod instead told host Candy Crowley that journalists needed to probe the source of the groups' donations. Democrats allege that foreign influences and special interests are helping fund a blitz of campaign ads against their party.
