Sen. John Sununu's campaign manager says Team Sununu will donate to charity $10,000 in campaign contributions it received during the current 2008 election cycle from indicted Sen. Ted Stevens' political action committee.

Stevens, an Alaska Republican, was indicted today on seven counts of failing to disclose thousands of dollars in services he received from a company that helped renovate and maintain his home.

Prosecutors said Stevens received more than $250,000 in gifts and services from VECO Corp., described by The Associated Press as a powerful oil services contractor, and its executives. From May 1999 to August 2007, prosecutors said, the 84-year-old senator concealed "his continuing receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of things of value from a private corporation." Stevens has denied any wrongdoing.

Stevens' Northern Lights Political Action Committee has doled out $340,413 in the current election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan organization that tracks campaign money. That includes $10,000 to his fellow Republican Sununu's campaign committee, Team Sununu, in March 2007, according to the center's web site.

Sununu campaign manager Paul Collins issued a statement this evening saying, "Team Sununu will be donating to charity the $10,000 received during this 2008 campaign cycle from Northern Lights PAC. The campaign had previously donated to charity contributions received from VECO employees who pled guilty to wrongdoing." Sununu announced in October 2007 he would donate to charity $2,000 he received in campaign contributions from two top VECO executives who had pleaded guilty to bribing public officials. He did not return $4,000 he had received from other VECO employees.

The Center for Responsive Politics also lists $10,000 in donations to Sununu from the Northern Lights PAC during the 2002 election cycle.

Internal Revenue Service records reported by the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity lists an additional donation of $25,000 by a separate Northern Lights non-federal account to the Sununu Victory Committee non-federal account in 2002, for a total of $45,000 from Stevens-run committees to Sununu committees.

The campaign of Sununu's Democratic opponent, Jeanne Shaheen, called for Sununu to return all the "corrupt oil money." Shaheen spokesman Kate Bedingfield said that since Stevens is accused of lying on his disclosure reports between 1999 and 2006, Sununu's decision to return only funds from the 2008 cycle is "arbitrary." She said Sununu "is using tainted money from national Republicans to finance his campaign."
