A campaign watchdog group is filing a complaint with the FEC, accusing Rep. George Santos of illegally using campaign funds to pay personal expenses and of concealing the source of more than $700K that the New York Republican plowed into his election bid.
The Campaign Legal Center’s complaint also alleges that the embattled congressman’s campaign falsified how it spent campaign funds, citing dozens of disbursements of exactly $199.99 – one penny below the threshold above which campaigns are required to retain receipts. The complaint marks the latest potential legal complication for Santos, who has been widely criticized for his fabrications about his biography.
He also reported owning an apartment in Rio De Janeiro, a checking account valued at between $100,001 and $250,000, and a savings account worth between $1,000,001 and $5 million. In the complaint, the Campaign Legal Center notes that the loans to the campaign and Santos’ bid for Congress “were essentially contemporaneous with the formation and sudden success” of Devolder.
