On October 10, 2002 Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) had orchestrated a hearing before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee on S. 2986, a bill to expedite and approve land claims paving the way for a Bay Mills Indian Casino in Port Huron. A project reportedly bankrolled by Michael J. Malik, Sr. and Detroit's Ilitch Family.
Five days later, on October 15, 2002 Heather Lufkins (Robinson), a woman who alleges she had an affair with Michael J. Malik, Sr. while he was still married to Mrs. Michele M. Malik; and Denise Ilitch, then an executive at Ilitch Holdings Inc., each contributed $5,000 to the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee - Federal Account. Ms. Lufkins (Robinson) had never contributed to a federal candidate prior to making that $5000 contribution; Ms. Ilitch had some history contributing to others previously but never more than $1,000 at a time.
*NEW* And on Oct. 15, Michael J. Malik, Sr. also joined his two lady friends in contributing $5,000 to the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee - Federal Account. According to FEC records available at PoliticalMoneyLine.com, Malik had made just two previous federal contributions to Members of Congress at $1,000 each.
On February 13, 2003, Rep. Candice Miller introduced a bill, H.R. 831, in the House of Representatives that was also intended to expedite approvals of a Bay Mills Indian casino in Port Huron.
Between March 2003 and February 2004, Heather Lufkins (Robinson) directed three additional contributions totaling $5,000 to two of Michael Malik’s favorite candidates:
On March 11, 2003, Rep. Miller received 30 checks totaling $38,800 from people primarily associated with the Ilitch Family and Malik.
Mike Ilitch, Marian Ilitch, Michael Malik and his alleged girlfriend (a single mother who lived in a house Malik had purchased) each gave $4,000; two other individuals gave $2,000 each; and the other 20 checks from prominent attorneys, real estate execs, and others were for $1,000 or less.
Ms. Lufkins (Robinson) had no previous record of federal political giving nor anything after these four large contributions.
The amounts of Ms. Lufkins (Robinson)'s contributions are suspect and beg questions about the true source of funds that Malik directed to Rep. Miller and Sen. Stabenow.
If Mr. Malik or any other party advanced or reimbursed Ms. Lufkins (Robinson) for these contributions they may have violated federal election laws.
