RNC paid Trump's Mar-a-Lago over $175,000 for donor retreat

The Republican National Committee paid just over $175,000 to former President Donald Trump's private club to host part of their spring donor retreat.

Federal Election Commission filings show that the six figure sum was paid in May to Trump's Mar-a-Lago, a month after the April donor gathering took place. The private club is located in Palm Beach, Florida. A Republican National Committee spokeswoman confirmed that more than $175,000 was, in fact, for the meeting. The new RNC filing describes the payment to Mar-a-Lago as fees for "venue rental and catering."

Part of the RNC sponsored event that month was held at Mar-a-Lago, where the former president took aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. NBC News reported at the time that Trump called McConnell a "dumb son of a b----" and a "stone cold loser." The other portion of the retreat took place at the Four Seasons in Palm Beach.

The RNC FEC filing shows the Four Seasons was paid just under $530,000 in May and the spokeswoman for the committee confirmed that payment was for the other part of the donor retreat.

Republicans pay a lot of money for bondage and humiliation.
