More than 1.3 million Americans have donated to the campaign and we constantly review those contributions for any issues," Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an email after a New York Times report on the decision appeared late on Monday.
"On the basis of the questions that have been raised, we will return the contributions from these individuals and from any other donors they brought to the campaign," LaBolt said.
The Obama administration has already been under fire for its Operation Fast & Furious, a government-run operation by which the ATF deliberately allowed thousands of high-powered firearms to be purchased by Mexican arm traffickers linked to major drug cartels supposedly in an effort to track down illegal arms traffickers. The guns were subsequently used to commit multiple violent crimes resulting in the death of more than 200 persons, including the execution of at least one federal border patrol agent. It doesn't take much speculation to believe that there is much more to the government's failed operation than meets the eye. "We have met the enemy and it is us."
