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.
