The RNC said the payment encompassed two years of work by the law firm Jones Day on a variety of matters.
The Republican National Committee last month paid $2 million to a law firm that employs the former White House counsel Donald McGahn and serves as the Trump campaign’s main legal firm — the largest RNC payment to the firm recorded in recent years.
The payment to Washington law firm Jones Day was disclosed in new Federal Election Commission records Monday night, as a part of routine political committee filings made public every month.
The RNC said in a statement that the payment was a bulk billing for two years’ worth of work.
The payments went to Jones Day the same month that the House Judiciary Committee began seeking McGahn’s testimony in connection with its investigation into potential obstruction of justice by Trump.
