The campaign of scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos is not short on problems, including a reported federal investigation. But it is short on one critical thing: money.
that the FEC’s letter was a warning, giving Santos 10 days to comply or shut down financial activity.
“It is required that for any committee to conduct any business, they must have an active treasurer,” the notice continues. “Failure to appoint a treasurer will result in the inability of the committee to accept contributions and make disbursements.” “Because they have failed thus far to file an amended Statement of Organization naming ‘Andrew Olson’ as the new treasurer, the FEC considers the position of treasurer to be vacant as of the effective date of the last treasurer’s resignation letter,” Kappel said.
“His campaign needs a treasurer to raise or spend money, and the 10 days would run from the resignation of the previous treasurer,” Ghosh told The Daily Beast. “I can’t think of any precedent for it,” Ghosh said. “It’s clearly a legal violation, so enforcement action would be appropriate. Not sure what the civil penalty would look like, though… the more they raise or spend without a treasurer, the bigger the fine probably.”
