U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith's political action committee gave money to indicted U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) three weeks after it became public knowledge that Stevens was under investigation by the FBI, according to Federal Election Commission files.

Smith's PAC, Impact America, gave $10,000 to Stevens on June 27, 2007. Twenty days earlier, Stevens admitted he was under investigation by the FBI in an interview with The Washington Post.

Stevens was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on seven charges relating to Stevens' alleged concealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts and home renovations from VECO Corp., an Alaskan oil company.

Calls to Smith's campaign were not immediately returned.
