The White House charged a group of CEOs for the cost of their lunches when they visited with President Obama last month.
A White House spokesperson confirmed to FOX Business the details of a story earlier reported by Politico that said the CEOs of Xerox (XRX), Coca-Cola (KO), AT&T (T) and Honeywell (HON) were asked for their credit-card numbers, separately from the event.
The spokesperson said the move was a way to avoid conflicts of interest.
