Federal watchdog urges Federal Election Commission to investigate Rep. George Santos, alleging he violated federal campaign finance laws.

much of his biography -- including lying about attending the prestigious Horace Mann School, graduating from Baruch College and working for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup -- after he won the midterm election to represent New York's 3rd Congressional District. Four different law enforcement offices are looking into his public disclosures: the New York attorney general, Queens district attorney, Nassau district attorney and U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.

The complaint said it was implausible for Santos to claim he loaned his campaign $705,000, questioning "how he could have done so with his own funds" since his financial disclosure forms reported only $55,000 of income in 2020. U.S. Rep.-elect George Santos, R-N.Y.,talks to Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in the House Chamber during the third day of elections for Speaker of the House at the Capitol on Jan. 5, 2023, in Washington, D.C."His claims of having earned millions of dollars in 2021 and 2022 from a supposed consulting business that he started in May 2021, Devolder Organization LLC, are vague, uncorroborated and non-credible in light of his many previous lies," the complaint said.

The complaint accused Santos "knowingly and willfully acted as a straw donor" funneling illegal contributions to his campaign from "unknown persons" who provided money disguised as income from Santos' business.

why does he have a ring on?

Good. The only thing he’s so far is pick his nose on the House floor and flick a booger.

If Santos doesn't resign, how will we be able to tell the difference between him and daily run of the mill republican fraudsters?

They should investigate all members of congress starting with Nancy Pelosi.

How about calls to investigate Joe Biden for taking china money

He's of low character and shows it every day he doesn't resign...

George Santos innocence after scandal and campaign finance violation. If investigation about George Santos potential criminal charges. George Santos could be resign from congressman until special election for new congressman future.

This guy has “dirty” written all over him

This creep has to go

Forget everyone else, all press should birddog him wherever he goes, no peace for him every single day he is there

Almost all of them.

Really? Santos has violated All Rules Everywhere!! Seriously He is a FRAUD!!!! Why is he still there

Hell yeah impeach.

First we will set up a committee to discuss this

While we are at it, can we investigate these guys?

And JoeBiden for all his lies

Davidlaz Let’s start w/confirming Santos’ actual name….

But he invented the blimp, started Harvard College and was the key scientist in discovering nuclear fusion At least that’s what he listed on his resume. santos

When that DEMOCRAT watchdog group focuses on a (D), then they’ll be believable. HouseGOP GOP NewYorkGOP NRCC

Now that he’s a politician he has no laws to follow!

But not FTX?🤔

The establishment hates that he won. Sure the establishment lies just as badly as he did but they never get caught and they would hate to sully their reputation by having him join their ranks.

He should be tossed from office immediately for lying to the American People. When will we stand up & make Congress pass legislation that makes it illegal for politicians, elected officials & their staffers to knowingly lie, deceive or propagandize Americans?

Oh, so now ya boi is fraudulent with the racks too? -ONE.💰

Everyone with a half-brain knows Republican George Santos is even DIRTIER THAN REPUBLICAN DONALD TRUMP, if that even possible

He invented the iPhone, and was the last man to walk on the moon. No wonder the gop loves him so much.
