The National Republican Senatorial Committee has done a lot recently to help Norm Coleman’s legal fight against Al Franken’s super-narrow victory in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race, the Associated Press reports — chipping in $938,000 in the last month alone.
The latest federal filings show that roughly $600,000 was spent directly by the NRSC on Coleman’s legal bills, with $300,000 transferred to the state Republican Party for the same effort.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee did not itemize spending that might have gone to the Minnesota race, but it did raise $282,000 that was specifically earmarked for it.
