The Republican National Committee say it's getting back nearly $2,000 that it reimbursed to a member for a night out at a
bondage-themed night club in West Hollywood.

An RNC source told Fox News the donor's name is Erik Brown but Heye would not confirm that. Brown, a direct mail operator
based in California, tweeted in October that he was watching a Redskins game with RNC Chairman Michael Steele at FedEx Field.

The report noted that the RNC spent $17,514 on private aircraft and $12,691 on limousines in the month of February, according to
Federal Election Commission filings. Recent travel expenses also included $9,099 spent at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped
at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles and nearly $20,000 combined for the Venetian and the M Resort in Las Vegas and the W in Washington.

Heye said the article was misleading because it did not distinguish Steele's expenses from finance and fundraising expenses associated
with the purpose of the travel. He added that the story "willfully and erroneously suggests" that Steele was at the club.
