And it continues:
The boss is William Danielczyk, founder of a Washington-area private-equity firm and a major fund-raising “bundler” for Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Layton’s gift was one of more than a dozen donations that night from people with Republican ties or no history of political giving. Mr. Danielczyk and his family, employees and friends donated a total of $120,000 to Mrs. Clinton in the days around the fund-raiser.
In an interview, Mr. Danielczyk said he “did not and would not” reimburse employees or others for their political donations. Such reimbursement would be illegal. Mr. Danielczyk said he was a co-host for the event at Mrs. Clinton’s home. “Everybody was asked to contribute,” he said, “some said yes and some said no.” He added, “No arm was twisted.”
The Clinton campaign told the WSJ it would return the Layton donations and would look into other money collected by Mr. Danielczyk.
While this particular set of circumstances and Mr. Hsu’s controversial case stem from the millions and millions of dollars being raised by the Clinton campaign, she is not the only candidate with bundling issues or troubled donors. Several of the campaigns have been revising their vetting procedures in an effort to better screen contributors.
And an article in the Washington Post today outlines questionable donations to the campaigns of Democratic candidate John Edwards and Republican candidate Mitt Romney, as well.
In court yesterday, Mr. Hsu indicated he would not fight extradition to California, where he faces sentencing on a 15-year-old fugitive warrant
