Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is at the center
of a growing political controversy after it was revealed Thursday that more
payments from his campaign funds had been made to his granddaughter than
previously reported.
The Nevada Democrat promised earlier this week to
reimburse $16,787 his campaign gave to Ryan Elisabeth Reid in 2013 for what was
described as payments for “holiday gifts.” Those payments were reportedly made
to purchase items from Ryan Elisabeth Reid, who has her own line of jewelry.
Reid defended the payments, saying they complied with Federal Election
Commission standards that allow the purchase of goods from relatives if those
goods are sold at fair market value.
Jahan Wilcox, a Republican National Committee
spokesman, decried Harry Reid's use of campaign monies as a "personal slush
fund."
