Martin Kao, former chief executive of Hawaii defence contractor Navatek, told the FBI he exchanged campaign donations and gifts for millions of dollars in naval contracts.

Why now: Old allegations involving campaign donations and naval contracts are being recirculated, touching on the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
