Barack Obama raised a record-shattering $750 million on his way to winning the 2008 presidential election. But that stunning flood of cash has triggered an investigation by the FEC, which is taking a detailed look at the campaign's records and transactions...

But allegations of improper contributions, coupled with the FEC's suspicions of certain transactions, led to the probe.
