A relative of Long Island Rep. George Santos was “dumbfounded” when told the freshman lawmaker’s campaign recorded a $5,800 contribution in their name for the 2022 House election campaign, according to a report.
The Santos relative, from Queens, was listed in the Republican’s campaign finance reports as making two donations of $2,900 each under their name and address,Wednesday, citing an examination of filings with the Federal Election Commission. When contacted, the person said, “I’m dumbfounded” and denied making any contributions to Santos’ campaign.Serial liar Santos’ campaign listed $45,000 in donations from relatives in Queens — including $4,000 from a mail handler, the maximum $5,800 contribution from a painter, and another $5,800 donation from a student, the report said, referring to the FEC documents.AP
The relative’s reported denial raises more questions about improper contributions to the Santos campaign. It is illegal under campaign finance laws to use a false name or someone else’s name with a donation. “It’s called a contribution in the name of another,” Saurav Ghosh, the director for federal campaign finance reform at the Campaign Legal Center, told Mother Jones. “It’s something that is explicitly prohibited under federal law.”The story about the relative comes amid a wave of scandals and investigations surrounding Santos, who won election on Nov. 8.
