If their guilt is glaringly apparent and your stance is interpreted as supportive, the blowback could be even more detrimental compared to promptly creating distance and professing unawareness of their wrongdoing, genuine or not.
The level of risk seems considerably high for an amount of money that, in the realm of campaign contributions, isn't substantial.
