In the Los Angeles Times, an anonymous Democratic fund raiser insisted that D.N.C. finance chairman Marvin Rosen simply told fund raisers to tell donors that $50,000 would get them into a White House coffee.

He doubts the murder was gang related, despite Knight's longtime affiliation with the Bloods.
