Nasser Kazeminy, who is accused in a Texas civil suit of funneling $75,000 in hidden money to U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman via two private businesses, is in the news again. This time he’s suspected of distributing money in $25,000 increments. Kazeminy is reported to have contributed $50,000 to a fund for residents displaced by a horrendous Dec. 23 Minnesota apartment fire.

That amount was matched by Kazeminy friend and business associate John Goodman, who owns the Burncliff Apartments through his firm, the Goodman Group — and who has a habit of donating money in lockstep with Kazeminy to Coleman and other Republicans.

UPDATED after the jump. 

Both generous gifts were soon dwarfed by an anonymous $1 million donation that’s being doled out to the Burncliff’s 200 residents in $17,500 checks per apartment unit. Whether Goodman and Kazeminy might also be behind the anonymous gift isn’t known — but if the Texas lawsuit and allegations about his paying for Coleman’s (business) suits are to be believed, Kazeminy has his own habit of quiet giving.

UPDATE: Kazeminy’s spokesperson tells the Political Animal he isn’t the million dollar donor — though she had to check with him to be sure “because it’s the kind of thing he would have done.”
