Rep. Kevin McCarthy steered hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash to members of the GOP caucus now threatening his bid for Speaker of the House, FEC records show.

Since 2008, McCarthy’s leadership PAC, Majority Committee PAC, has given $316,000 to 17 of the Republican members now opposing him.

One of the largest beneficiaries is also one of McCarthy’s most vocal opponents, Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry, who has received more than $50,000 from McCarthy’s PAC since 2012.

McCarthy has also given at least $25,000 to Reps. Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde, Andy Harris and Ralph Norman over the years.

McCarthy’s contributions to the rebellious members were made through his leadership PAC, Majority Committee.
