Obama donates more Rezko cash


TARMAC AT ATLANTA AIRPORT — Sen. Barack Obama is giving away more money linked to indicted Chicago developer Tony Rezko.


Here's the statement from spokesman Bill Burton, confirming the AP report.


"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. As a result, the campaign is today donating to charity $72,650, equal to the total amount of contributions made by Mr. Rezko's family members, employees of his companies and those whose contributions may be connected to the fundraiser at his home. By refunding these donations, the campaign has returned any and all funds that could be reasonably credited to Mr. Rezko's political support."


Total amount: $149,985


Washington Times' investigative reporter Jerry Seper has a story on Rezko that will run in tomorrow's paper. Stay tuned and I'll link to it.


Team Clinton made sure reporters knew about the new donations, sending around this report from NBC.
