White House Spokesman Eric Schultz responds to the Republican National Committee’s official complaint over what the RNC claims is a misuse of taxpayer dollars for campaign purposes:

This week’s travel has been part of the President’s official responsibility to get outside of Washington, DC, hear from students, and discuss stopping interest rates on their loans from doubling in July – just like Friday’s trip to Fort Stewart in Hinesville, Georgia to meet with troops, veterans, and military families is likewise part of the President’s official responsibilities. When there is political travel, we follow all rules and regulations that all other Administrations have followed.
