Assemblyman Adam Clayton Powell IV probably doesn’t want you to follow the money.

The Harlem leader, who is vying for Rep. Charles Rangel’s Congressional seat, allegedly took campaign donations from a man facing a sexual harassment suit from dancers at his Bronx strip club, the Daily News Reported Thursday.

Konstantine “Gus” Drakopoulos, who runs Sin City at 2520 Park Avenue, reportedly made five $1,000 donations this past spring to Powell’s Congressional campaign.

“I’m going to return the money. I want no part of anybody like that,” the Assemblyman told the News.
