Cindy McCain Sells Sudan Investments
By Kate Phillips <http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/author/kphillips/>
Cindy McCain, the wife of the Republican presumptive nominee for president, has sold off at least $2 million she held in funds with investments in Sudan businesses.
The mutual funds — American Funds Europacific Growth and American Funds Capital World Growth and Income — have investments in companies with business in the Sudan, according to the Sudan Divestment Task Force, an advocacy organization that has been working to persuade states, universities and other organizations to divest.
Both of the funds were listed by her husband, Senator John McCain, on his financial disclosure forms. The investments and the divestiture were first reported by The Associated Press.
Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the campaign, confirmed the sale on Wednesday.
“As soon as she was made aware, she sold it,” Mr. Rogers said. “Senator and Mrs. McCain are committed to doing everything possible to end the genocide in Darfur.”
