The donation of $25,300 was made in August of 2008 to the US Treasury while Senator Landrieu was under investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. Campaign lawyer Marc Elias defends the campaign calling the complaint "frivolous". No one from the campaign has said what the donation was indeed for, only that it wasn't a bribe or any other flavor of cover-up.
Here's hoping that this isn't going to be a problem for Senator Landrieu as Louisiana already has it's share of corrupt senators. But if it is the case that there's some sort of scandal in the works here, the people of Louisiana should hold the senator accountable for her actions.
