CNN reports:

The Federal Election Commission has flagged issues with contributions made to embattled Rep.-elect George Santos’ campaign, according to a letter addressed to the New York Republican’s fundraising committee this week.

The FEC letter informed Santos that the information listed for three of his listed donors – “Best Efforts/Best Efforts,” “NYCBS/MD” and “NYCBS/Self Employed” – is “not acceptable” and that his campaign “must provide the missing information.”In addition, the FEC letter identifies three donors who each contributed at least $25,000 to his campaign. Candidates are allowed to receive a maximum of $5,800 from individuals during an election cycle.
