Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, in his first interview since the committee was caught spending $2,000 at a bondage-themed nightclub in L.A., told Good Morning America that he was "very angry" when he found out about the charges.

"I was very angry, and we dealt with it. We got to the bottom of it, the employee was summarily dismissed for going against our internal policies in finance," Steele said. He added that the committee was limiting what kind of events its finance department could host.

"When you have the White House and you have both houses of Congress, that's no longer the standard that we've been trying to get them to adjust to. A lot of our donors, our major donors, are used to a particular type of an event. We've been scaling those back," he said.

He made no signal that he would resign.
