The political action committee (PAC) for the American Bankers Association, a financial industry trade association, donated $80,500 to U.S. House members or their leadership PACs in April as that chamber began debate on whether to weaken Wall Street consumer protection provisions passed by the previous Congress. The leadership PACs for four U.S. Senators received $14,500, according to Public Campaign analysis of data provided by the Federal Election Commission.
