But party spokeswoman Katie Gordon said the card was not supposed to be used for personal expenses. "The RPOF American Express card is a corporate card and is meant to be used for business expenses," she said when asked about the party's policy. IRS rules for political parties, which are tax-exempt, require that their donations go exclusively toward influencing elections.
