There are new reports that Rep. George Santos claimed to
have spread campaign cash to fellow Republicans, but that money never showed
up.
According to Politico, campaign filings show one of
Santos' first acts as a candidate back in 2019 was making a bunch of large, 4-figure donations from his
campaign to local Republican groups - along with Donald Trump's re-election
committee.
However, according to filings from those groups, the money
was never received.
As News 12
has reported, the congressman is facing several FEC complaints along with
investigations from local and national prosecutors.
Santos has acknowledged mistakes with his money trail -
and pointed to clerical errors or system errors.
