Paul defends overseas expenditures
Fresh off a diplomacy mission to Russia, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Bowling Green, is not so diplomatic in defending himself against charges that other overseas trips have been at either taxpayer or campaign-donor expense.
Paul was one of several members of Congress singled out last month in a report produced by the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center for using Political Action Committee funds to “subsidize lavish lifestyles on their donors’ dimes.”
