Slater, who denies the allegation, attended the event a month before endorsing McMahon.

"Congressman Shays continues to disrespect delegates and leaders across the state with accusations that they can be bought," McMahon campaign spokeswoman Erin Isaac stated in an email to Greenwich Time. You can check out more on the story at Greenwich Time by clicking here.
