Via a hometown paper:

Sen. Chris Dodd was one of the major recipients of campaign donations from Texas money man R. Allen Stanford, the subject of a fraud probe for transactions that may total as much as $8 billion.
Dodd, chairman of the Senate banking committee, received $27,500 in contributions from Stanford’s routine political largesse — which most often went to Democrats. Dodd is apparently among the long list of politicians who pledged to donate the money to charity.
