(CNN) Sen. Amy Klobuchar's presidential campaign said Friday that it was returning money donated by a former prosecutor who has faced sharp public criticism for her role in the Central Park Five rape case, according to a campaign spokesperson. "The campaign shouldn't have accepted this contribution and we're returning it," the spokesperson told CNN. Klobuchar served two terms as a county attorney for Hennepin County in Minnesota. CNN reached out to the Warren campaign for comment on Fairstein's exact role in the fundraiser, but has not yet received a reply. In response to the controversy last year, Warren's presidential campaign disavowed Fairstein's support.
