Emails reveal dodgy political fundingINVESTIGATORS INTO the Enron scandal have found emails that show that the company was propping up Republican politicians with illegal money.

According to Associated Press, the e-mails were circulated among Enron officials in 2000 and 2001, before the energy company went belly up.

In an e-mail from May 31, 2001, Enron’s Rick Shapiro and Linda Robertson discuss a $50,000 contribution solicited by Republican organisations for a dinner saluting President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
