RNC Treasurer Robert Kjellander. 

Here's the AP story:

Federal prosecutors investigating corruption at a state pension fund have subpoenaed records concerning $4.5 million in fees a Washington-based investment firm is paying the new treasurer of the Republican National Committee, government sources confirmed Tuesday.

The subpoena calls for documents related to the fund, the Carlyle Group and Robert Kjellander, said sources familiar with the investigation who spoke only on condition of anonymity, saying prosecutors want details of the probe kept secret.

Kjellander, a lobbyist who headed President Bush's re-election campaign in three states, was named the RNC's treasurer over the weekend.

According to the story:

RNC spokesman Danny Diaz said the Republican group was aware of news reports concerning Kjellander and considers him an effective leader who can help advance the agenda of President Bush. Kjellander is also a friend of presidential adviser Karl Rove.

No surprise there.
