By Matthew Mosk
Sen. Barack Obama today vowed to return all of the contributions raised with help from his embattled early supporter, Chicago developer Tony Rezko.
The commitment, made during an appearance on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," puts new pressure on the Illinois senator to determine exactly how much Rezko has raised for his various political campaigns. Recent published reports suggest that while Obama has returned some of the money, he has continued to hang on to a considerable amount.
"What we've done is we've traced any funds that we know of that we think were connected to him, and if there are other funds that were connected to him that we're not aware of, then we will certainly return them. It's in our interest to do so," Obama said.

Comment:
I don't understand why he is returning the money if there was nothing wrong with his association with the developer.
