RNC Reports New Debts As Feud Mounts [View All]

[ccharles000]

The RNC has more than $2M in debts as a dispute between chairman Michael Steele and Treasurer Randy Pullen spills into reports filed with the FEC, once again bringing to light fundamental disagreements between key GOP officials.

Reports filed with the FEC late Tuesday show the RNC owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to direct mail vendors, internet strategists and telemarketing firms contracted over the last year. But party officials dispute the reports, signed by Pullen, and assert the outstanding bills were paid in full.

Pullen asserted the debts go much higher than is reported to the FEC. In a memo to RNC budget committee members, first reported by the Washington Times, Pullen said the committee owes $3.3M from April and anoter $3.8M from May. Pullen filed amended reports to the FEC late Tuesday reflecting those new debts.
