Officials with the British bank that has been accused of doing $250 billion in business with banks in Iran gave more than $80,000 to American political figures in recent years.

People identifying themselves as employees of Standard Chartered bank have given $30,000 to the Democratic National Committee and another $27,150 to President Barack Obama's campaign in the last three election cycles, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

They've also given $7,300 to U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Arkansas, $3,200 to the Republican National Committee and $3,000 to Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting Mitt Romney.
