A foundation that sought $40 donations to put World War II veterans’ names on a wall--still unbuilt--in France is under investigation by Justice Department fraud attorneys. Department spokesman John Russell said the criminal division’s fraud section “has been investigating this for some time based on a series of complaints from people that lost money.” Anthony Stout, a Washington businessman who was Battle of Normandy Foundation president, said during a CBS interview that he was unaware the FBI was investigating, and said the foundation is being run properly.
