JERUSALEM -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says he never took illegal campaign contributions, denying allegations in a police investigation.
But he says if he's indicted, he'll resign.
Olmert made a statement at his official residence after a gag order was lifted from the case.
Police allege that Olmert accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal contributions from a U.S. citizen.
In a statement broadcast live on local TV and radio stations, Olmert said a lawyer handed his finances, and everything was legal.
He said he would not fight to stay in office if he is charged.
"If I am indicted, I will resign my post," he said.
"I never took bribes, I never took a penny for myself."
