THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported on March 12--three months after news broke of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme--that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had not returned or donated $100,000 Madoff had given the group. "We haven't returned the money, and there are no immediate plans to do so," DSCC spokesman Eric Schultz told TWS.

On Friday, Schultz told CNN that $100,000 in Madoff donations will be given to a fund set up for Madoff's victims. "It was under review. Now that the review is completed, we've decided to give the money to the trustee for distribution to the victims," Schultz said.

While most recipients of Madoff's political contributions have donated the money to charity, the offices of Hillary Clinton, Rep. David Obey, and NARAL have not responded to inquiries about what they have done with the contributions they received from Madoff.
