Noe faces federal probe for Bush contributions
2003 fund-raising activities draw interest

Federal authorities said yesterday they are investigating local businessman and prominent Republican fund-raiser Tom Noe for possible violations of campaign contribution laws.

Gregory A. White, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, confirmed that his office, in conjunction with the FBI, is looking into Mr. Noe, who was chairman of the Bush-Cheney campaign in northwest Ohio.

“We have publicly confirmed the investigation of Mr. Noe in relation to some campaign contributions,” Mr. White said last night.

He said the investigation has been ongoing for a couple of months, but declined to comment on its details. Officials with the U.S. Justice Department in Washington are aware of the investigation, Mr. White said.

Mr. Noe, 50, is a coin dealer and former chairman of the Lucas County Republican Party.
