Obama Donates Challenged Funds

By THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: January 30, 2008
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After another review of campaign contributions, an aide to Senator Barack Obama said Tuesday evening that the campaign was giving to charity $72,650 in donations tied to an indicted Chicago businessman, Antoin Rezko, who helped raise money for Mr. Obama’s Senate campaign four years ago.

Senator Obama directed a further review of contributions made by family members and employees of Tony Rezko and also by others who may have contributed through his efforts on behalf of the senator’s 2004 Senate campaign,” said Bill Burton, a spokesman for the campaign.

He said the campaign had returned a total of $150,000 from Mr. Rezko, his employees, associates and family. The contributions were made to Mr. Obama’s state legislative races in Chicago, as well as his 2004 Senate race.

not direct contributions... this means ..."amily members and employees of Tony Rezko and also by others who may have contributed through his efforts on behalf of the senator’s 2004 Senate campaign"


Every time the funds have been identified they have been returned... its not like these have Rezko's name next to them in the logs... those funds were given back in 2k6
