Lee said he has "directed my campaign staff to do our due diligence to reach out to our various donors to find out who may have been connected to any effort along those lines and we're gathering the information right now." Matthew Sanderson, a political law attorney with the Washington, D.C., firm of Caplin & Drysdale, said it's a "bit unusual" for Lee to be reaching out to donors at this point. "I guess they're being safe rather than sorry," Sanderson said, adding that Lee may have some indication that there are contributions that need to be refunded or otherwise removed from his campaign coffers.
