Two fundraising staffers for the National Republican Senatorial Committee who broke into the computer servers of the House GOP campaign arm resigned late last week, Republican sources said.
The staffers, Laura Kleffner and Krista Madaio, had previously worked at the National Republican Congressional Committee. POLITICO first reported last week that the NRSC aides used their old NRCC passwords to collect information on more than 200,000 donors, according to three Republican sources.
The digital break-in infuriated NRCC officials when they became aware of it in October. The NRSC and NRCC both declined to comment on Monday.

The lists contain not only names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, but also information that could be used to entice donors, such as policy issues they’re interested in.
