Barr, a House Financial Services Committee member, had taken at least $334,666 in campaign donations from the banking, finance and investments industries as of June 30, including payday lenders and major banks that have financed them, such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America. PNC, the bank that in March confirmed getting subpoenaed under Operation Choke Point, has given Barr $9,500. Two-thirds of the 15 sponsors of H.R. 4986, including Barr, have taken campaign money so far this election cycle from the political action committee of the payday lenders trade group, the Community Financial Services Association.
