'Fraud' law firm funded Democrats, Hillary on list
[ Wednesday, May 24, 2006 01:40:18 amREUTERS ]


WASHINGTON: Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP, the securities class action law firm indicted last week on fraud charges stemming from corporate lawsuits it filed, made large political contributions almost exclusively to Democrats since 1999, records show.

The firm and individuals there made $2.78 million in campaign donations to Democrats compared to about $22,000 to Republicans, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Among the recipients were senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry. "We will not be taking any action at this stage," Clinton's spokeswoman said in an e-mail.

Besides, the firm made contributions to New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer, the Democratic candidate for governor. Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, said Republicans would likely use the donations as ammunition in Congressional elections.

The Democratic National Committee received $1.28 million. President George W Bush received a sum of $2,000 during the 2004 campaign as donations within the firm. Reuters
