http://www.mysanantonio.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D8HRDO7O0.htmlSen. John McCain has returned $20,000 donated to his Straight Talk America political action committee by two Texas businessmen who helped finance ads that criticized the Republican during his 2000 White House bid.
Published reports last year said brothers Charles J. Wyly Jr., and Sam Wyly were
being investigated for their handling of money in offshore accounts. Government agencies declined to say whether any probes are ongoing. The Wylys have been active in Republican fundraising for years.
"Through our vetting process, when we find any controversy, we return the check," said Craig Goldman, executive director of Straight Talk America.
The Wyly brothers were on the host committee for a McCain fundraiser in Dallas in mid-May, but "we asked them not to attend," Goldman said. "We told them the checks would be returned and they understood."
