In the wake of calls over a review of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), former Chairman Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) blamed the “unauthorized and improper bonuses” granted to staff before he took office.

It came after a three-hour-long Tuesday meeting when Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) sought an independent audit of the committee’s spending resources in the midterm elections after the party failed to win the Senate majority, Politico reported.
