The Republican National Committee Paid Out $300K for Don Jr.’s New Book

Grifters are going to grift. And the GOP abides by the rules of the Trump crime family:

The Republican National Committee paid more than $300,000 in October to a company owned by Donald Trump Jr. to purchase copies of his new, self-published book.

Autographed copies of the book, Liberal Privilege, were given out to donors who contributed between $50 and $100 to the RNC, according to a source familiar with the arrangement. The source said the promotion raised substantial sums for Republicans in the final stretch of the election.

The RNC’s payment-for $303,892.47 on October 28-went not to Trump Jr. directly but to a company called Pursuit Venture LLC. Corporate records in Delaware, where the company was formed in late 2018 and lists the president’s eldest son as its principal. The RNC’s payment was itemized as “donor mementos.”
