With their comments, the senators entered a growing controversy surrounding so-called 527 committees like the Media Fund.

The Media Fund, which has run advertisements attacking Mr. Bush, spent about $2 million.

Two of them, America Coming Together and the Media Fund, raised more than $140 million.
