Senator John McCain returns $20,000 in political contributions

Republican Sen. John McCain,
of Arizona, has returned $20,000 in political
contributions from a powerful Texas family that
is under investigation for possible unlawful use
of offshore tax shelters.

McCain's political action committee, Straight Talk
America
, returned $5,000 checks to each of the
following: Charles Wyly; Wyly's brother Sam; Sam's
wife, Cheryl; and Charles' son, Charles, according
to the PAC's most recent Federal Election Commission filing.

The Wylys were hosts of a May 15 Dallas fund-raiser
for McCain but were requested not to attend the event,
a McCain political adviser told CNN.
