Fact Check: Did McCain intervene on behalf of Charles Keating? Yes
CNN has completed its factcheck of the Obama Campaign charge that "McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry — actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers."
The Verdict: TRUE
John McCain did push to delay regulations that would have cracked down on savings-and-loans practices and intervened on Keating's behalf.
