07/22/11 Greenwich Resident Richard Blumenthal Recieved Donation From Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. PAC


Blumenthal Is Keeping Murdoch's Money

Connecticut Senator and former Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is keeping a $1,000 donation from News Corp’s PAC, according to Politico.

The beleaguered news group is falling under fire for hacking phones and bribing officialis, along with their too-close ties to British politics, prompting the political blog to examine it’s contributions to American politicians.

A long list of politicians received “four-figure donations,” according to the site, which received comment from Blumenthal’s spokesperson.
