Some of the politicians continued to take donations even after irregularities with the charity were first exposed in March in detailed reports by the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R.-Minnesota, accepted contributions totaling $14,800 in April and May, according to records compiled by the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
The donation to Bachmann from con man Bobby Thompson was first reported here by Karl Bremer.
UPDATE by Lloydletta:
From the ABC News article:
"Once the Congresswoman learned of the allegations against Mr. Thompson she promptly gave his donation to a local charity," her spokesman Sergio Gor told ABC News. "Congresswoman Bachmann receives hundreds of thousands of donations each year and takes thousands of pictures with individuals; she has not and does have any connection to Mr. Thompson."
"We firmly believe that Mr. Thompson should be held accountable for his unlawful actions," Gor added.
Yup, once Dump Bachmann called Michele Bachmann out on her donation from scam artist Bobby Thompson, she was forced to donate her ill gotten gains to charity.
