Breaking: McCain campaign will review questionable donations


Posted: 04:18 PM ET

(CNN) — John McCain's campaign said Thursday it will be looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations brought in by Florida businessman Harry Sargeant, after reports that his business partner – who is not an American citizen – may have been connected with the fundraising efforts.

Federal campaign finance regulations prohibit donations from foreign nationals.

The McCain campaign is sending a copy of the legal requirements for donations to contributors whose funds were brought in through Sargeant, a Florida Republican Party official.

3. They can't return ALL questionable donations. What would they have left?
No one can run a campaign on 76¢

4. Anyone notice the framing with the problem being a foreign national?
Ya know vs the curious paradox people of modest means who hate McCain donating thousands of dollars to him?
