Fugitive Political Fund-Raiser Arrested in Colorado

By CAROLYN MARSHALL
Published: September 7, 2007
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7 — Norman Hsu, the wealthy political donor who has twice been a fugitive from justice, most recently skipping a court date in California on Wednesday, was taken into custody by the Federal Bureau of Investigation late Thursday at a hospital in Grand Junction, Colo.
Mr. Hsu personally contributed more than $600,000 to federal, state and municipal candidates in the last three years, and since word of his original fugitive status became known, candidates have been rushing to rid themselves of Mr. Hsu’s money. They include Senator Barack Obama of Illinois; Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York; Al Franken, the comedian and political commentator who is a Minnesota senatorial candidate; and Representatives Michael M. Honda and Doris Matsui of California.

The presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York had enlisted Mr. Hsu as a Hillraiser, a major bundler of donations from others. The campaign said it would donate to charity the $23,000 he had contributed.
