Akin and McCaskill at Odds Over Federal Subsidies

Businesses affiliated with the husband of Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill received almost $40 million of federal subsidies for low-income housing developments during her first five years in office.

McCaskill's Republican challenger, Todd Akin, claims the payments represent a "conflict of interest and a breach of trust" with voters.

McCaskill says "the accusation is terribly unfair and distorted."
