George Santos’ congressional campaign reported dozens of transactions just cents below the threshold that would have triggered a requirement to preserve spending records

whether he may have broken the law, but has not been charged with a crime and has bucked calls to resign from fellow GOP members of the state’s congressional delegation.

for those valued at $200 or more. The sheer number of expenses reported as being just under the threshold for retaining receipts was among the subjects of the CLC’s complaint against the Santos campaign. The complaint also cited the $700,000 that Santos reported as a personal loan to his campaign despite questions about his finances.

Not all campaign expenditures in that narrow range raise questions. A relatively common expense this election cycle: subscriptions to the web-conferencing platform Zoom, which has a business plan priced at $199.90 per month. These reported expenses are still a relatively small share of the more than $2.6 million that Santos’s campaign spent last cycle. But CLC’s complaint alleges that they raise questions about the accuracy of his reported disbursements.

Probably not the only one in Congress who did this.

Funny that?

He's a player!

FBI investigation needed

'In addition to the Italian restaurant and Miami hotel, he reported spending exactly $199.99 on 10 distinct Uber rides, four Delta Airlines flights and two Amtrak trains, among other expenses.' Please indict the POS ASAP...

I am getting a real strong feeling santos and company are messing w/ us in a big way. THIS has nasty,grubby,foul magat fingerprints allllll 😡 I’m gonna ignore this. He is a repub problem.

Goodness. Are we still covering the congressman’s shadiness. His voters get a chance to remove him in 18 months. Please move on to real news.

Well that doesn't seem suspicious

good for him

The improbability of Nancy Pelosi getting every investment right for 30 years is much higher.

The Great Con..

This guy is a disgrace to all who voted for him and to the state of New York!

That is no different from making sure u don't get overdraft on ur banking.

Where did he get 750,000. He worked or ran a Ponzi scheme why isn’t he arrested

You guys are so silly, y’all let another corrupt politician in!

How common or uncommon is this?

We let a con artist into Congress; congratulations America.

I think we have established he is a conman. Now the only logical step is to remove him. But that would require a speaker with a spine.

We have already seen this with taxes , come on we all know who George is ..

And you all think he’s not qualified to be a politician? 😂😂😂 He sounds like he’ll fit right in!

Someone needs to put this criminal in jail already. Enough is enough.
