Disgraced Clinton supporter/fundraiser Norman Hsu indicted in federal court

NEW YORK - A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted a top Democratic fundraiser accused of cheating investors of at least $20 million and using some of the
money for illegal donations to political candidates such as Hillary Rodham Clinton... The government said Hsu also violated federal campaign-finance laws by
making contributions to various political candidates in the names of others. A message left with a lawyer for Hsu was not immediately returned... Hsu
pressured many of his victims to contribute thousands of dollars to various candidates for president and Congress.

Hsu was once a valued supporter of Clinton... Hsu's work on Clinton's behalf has been an embarrassment for her presidential campaign...

Hsu Steered Major Fundraiser to Obama
Campaign Acknowledges Link to Democratic Donor Who Is Now Under Arrest

Before becoming a major bundler for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, disgraced Democratic donor Norman Hsu helped host a 2005 California event for Barack Obama's political action committee and introduced the senator from Illinois to one of the biggest fundraisers for his presidential bid.

Federal Election Commission records show that Hsu gave $5,000 to Obama's Hopefund PAC in connection with the fundraiser and that people publicly identified with Hsu and his companies gave an additional $19,500 to the PAC in 2005 and 2006.<[br />
