WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton will give to charity the $23,000 in donations that she has received from a fundraiser who is wanted in California for failing to appear for sentencing on a 1991 grand theft charge. The decision came Wednesday as other Democrats began distancing themselves from Norman Hsu, whose legal encounters and links to other Democratic donors have drawn public scrutiny in the past two days.
Al Franken, a Senate candidate in Minnesota, Rep. Michael Honda of California and Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania said they would divest their campaigns of Hsu's donations.
Hsu is a fundraiser for Clinton and is described as a devoted fan of the presidential candidate and New York senator. He planned to co-host a money event for Clinton on Sept. 30. In a statement Wednesday, Hsu said he believed he had resolved his legal issues and was unaware that he faced a warrant.
Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer said the $23,000 included contributions from Hsu to Clinton's presidential campaign, her Senate re-election and her political action committee. The campaign did not plan to return any money Hsu raised from other donors, Singer said.
"In light of the information regarding Mr. Hsu's outstanding warrant in California we will be giving his contribution to charity," Singer said.

That clown is really running?
And what about his shell donations through the Paws?
They can “say” anything they want. I want to see a copy of the canceled check.
Someone tip off his challengers about the $800,000 his radio network received in embezzled funds from the Boys and Girls Club in New York.
Afraid so but what’s one more clown in congress?
Whoops. Sorry. That doesn't happen on this planet.
Riiiiiiiiight!
Someone would be happy to show you the canceled check. Could you be at Fort Marcy Park tonight at 10:00 O'clock?
Sort of remember a drunk I saw once in Boston.
He was working the crowd - “Give to the Jimmy Fund”.
“I’m Jimmy”
I can only imagine what Hillary’s favorite charity is - probably some fake organization with a PO Box as it’s only address.
Yep. And the media and half of America will fall for it...
BTW, LOL on the Jimmy Fund...
:)
4 out of 5 criminals recommend - vote democrat.
Funny how you remember certain things 30 years after the fact. (did I just say that? - Gawd I’m old!)
Great to see someone applying pressure..
Substitute Democrats for the thief: If they get caught accepting illegal money, its “we didn’t know; we’ll give the money to charity.” If they don’t get caught, they’re off with the money.
23K!!!!! That’s no all he gave or arranged is it? I thought it was 10X that?
Sounds like a sham. and somebody needs to ask Wolfson what about his first response that the guy was super and they were keeping the money.
They’ll never give it back.
They’re just saying that because they know that no news media will check to see if they’ve done it.
clintons lie, cheat, steal, rape and perfected arkanside.

HA! HA!
