Sheldon And Miriam Adelson Gave Millions To Republican Congressional Committee

Las Vegas Sands chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson, and his wife Miriam, gave the National Republican Congressional Committee $25 million last month, according to federal filings.

 The couple already gave $30 million to the same group, which provides financial support for Republicans running for office.

According to Bloomberg, the donation went to the Senate Leadership Fund.
