“The Republican National Committee spent hundreds of thousands of dollars last month on books by Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News personality Sean Hannity, federal records show. The RNC’s August expenditure report filed with the Federal Election Commission shows that the committee spent $405,404 on ‘donor mementos’ from book retailers Barnes & Noble, booksamillion.com and Porchlight Books. The RNC promoted Hannity’s book, titled ‘Live Free or Die,’ in early August, offering signed ‘priority access’ copies as an incentive for political donations of $75 or higher.”
“Around the same time, the committee launched a similar promotion for Trump Jr.’s new book, ‘Liberal Privilege,’ which it awarded to donors at the same price point. Emails sent from an RNC address in late July suggested that the committee would make bulk pre-orders of the books, and it appears to have reported the first three on Aug. 5 — to Barnes & Noble, Booksamillion.com and Porchlight Books” – Yahoo News.
