Of all the questions swirling around U.S. Rep. George Santos, one of the most serious has been how he amassed the personal fortune he used to finance his campaign.
Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., leaves a House GOP conference meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023. – Of all the questions swirling around U.S. Rep. George Santos, one of the most serious has been how he amassed the personal fortune he claimed to have used to finance his campaign. The Republican fabulist filed new campaign finance reports this week that only elevated the confusion over whether that money was all his, or came from some other source.
At the time he reported those loans, Santos was portraying himself as a self-made millionaire with a history of big deals on Wall Street, a sizeable family real estate portfolio and plenty of money to back his own candidacy. When the $500,000 loan was first reported, for instance, the “Personal Funds" box was not checked on a form included with an April 2022 quarterly report, suggesting the money had originated from a source other than Santos. On subsequent reports, however, the box was checked.
Tuesday's submissions are the latest in a string of amendments that Santos' campaign has made to its campaign finance disclosures. Many reports posted to the FEC's website have been amended multiple times. One report is on its seventh revision.
