WASHINGTON -- An AIDS charity linked to the Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, paid almost a half-million dollars in consulting fees to members of his political inner circle, according to tax returns. The returns for World of Hope Inc. show the charity raised the lion's share of its $4.4 million from only 18 sources. They gave $97,950 to $267,735 each to help fund Frist's efforts to fight AIDS.

The tax forms, filed nine months after they were first due, do not identify the 18 major donors by name."
