More Shady Details Emerge About Santos’s Finances

The New York Times reports:

The company was called Cleaner 123, and over the course of four months, it received nearly $11,000 from the campaign of George Santos, the representative-elect from New York who appears to have invented whole swaths of his life story.

The expenditures were listed as “apartment rental for staff” on Mr. Santos’s campaign disclosure forms and gave the address of a modest suburban house on Long Island. But one neighbor said Mr. Santos himself had been living there for months, and two others said that they had seen Mr. Santos and his husband coming and going, a possible violation of the rule prohibiting the use of campaign funds for personal expenses.

The travel expenses include more than $40,000 for air travel, a number so exorbitant that it resembles the campaign filings of party leaders in Congress, as opposed to a newly elected congressman who is still introducing himself to local voters.

Read the full article. As always with Santos, there’s SO much more.

Some more very questionable stuff in Santos’ campaign expenditures, including dozens of expenses at $199.99–one cent under the threshold at which receipts are required by law. https://t.co/pxmzsgbVlt
