The Oklahoman: Calvey Helps Fund Congressional Campaign On Profit From Brother's Russian Firm

Read about 5th District candidate Kevin Calvey's zero investment that returned a $270,000 profit and donations tied to business associates of his wealthy international businessman brother Michael Calvey (right) at http://newsok.com/oklahoma-elections-russian-fund-boosts-calvey-campaign/article/3483390#ixzz0vyST6800 and at http://newsok.com/calveys-brother-cofounded-firm-with-former-kgb-head-as-adviser/article/3483392#ixzz0vyVD18Su.

From the lead story: In interviews and e-mail exchanges, Kevin Calvey's story changed several times during questioning about his campaign funding. He initially said he couldn't remember whether he paid for his stake in the equity fund, and his initial response to why he sold his interest conflicted with his brother's recollection of the transaction.

Kevin Calvey, whose pregnant wife is due any day, said he was exhausted from an overnight trip to the hospital last week and from his campaign duties.
