Ah, Googling... google his name and "prositution", skip over to the later/older pages--like in the page 20's and higher---(current pages are full of today's news) and you get tidbits like this:
http://www.nysun.com/article/38145 Eliot Spitzer has returned a $50,000 contribution to a billionaire recently indicted on a prostitution charge and another $50,000 from a businessman fellow Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton once called the "biggest polluter in America."
Sending back such big checks is becoming more commonplace on the American political landscape, experts in campaign fundraising said.
On Wednesday, Republican-Conservative candidate for governor John Faso
called on Mr. Spitzer, a Democrat, to return the $50,000 from financier Jeffrey Epstein, the New York billionaire who faces a prostitution charge in Florida. Mr. Spitzer campaign spokeswoman Christine Anderson said it was already returned and state elections records verify that.
"When you are fortunate enough to have such wide support and a very successful multimillion dollar fundraising effort, then it's not unusual that a small amount will occasionally slip through the vetting process," Ms. Anderson said. She notes Mr. Spitzer has also voluntarily returned hundreds of thousands of dollars more because of he won't take contributions from those who are a subject of his investigations as attorney general.
