From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
The Republican National Committee has been on the defensive this week because of some questionable expenditures.
But it is pushing back today by sending around a list of what the Democratic National Committee has spent money on, including more than $2 million on luxury hotels and caterers, $75,000 for car services, and $262,000 for "other events" at the Kennedy Center, Fenway Park, and a D.C. nightclub.
An e-mail for response to the DNC was not immediately returned. We will update when we hear back.
