Santos, a Suburban House and $11,000 in Campaign Payments for 'Rent'

NEW YORK — The company was called Cleaner 123, and over the course of four months, it received nearly $11,000 from the campaign of George Santos, the representative-elect from New York who appears to have invented whole swaths of his life story.

The expenditures were listed as “apartment rental for staff” on Santos’ campaign disclosure forms and gave the address of a modest suburban house on Long Island. But one neighbor said Santos himself had been living there for months, and two others said that they had seen Santos and his husband coming and going, a possible violation of the rule prohibiting the use of campaign funds for personal expenses.

The travel expenses include more than $40,000 for air travel, a number so exorbitant that it resembles the campaign filings of party leaders in Congress, as opposed to a newly elected congressman who is still introducing himself to local voters.

Santos’ campaign filings show other irregularities: He had listed a flood of expenses under $200 — more than 800 items in total — a number that far exceeded those of candidates for similar office. More than 30 of those payments came in just below the limit at $199.99, expenses listed for office supplies, restaurants and Ubers, among other things. While FEC rules urge candidates to try to save receipts for purchases below $200, they are required to keep them for all expenditures above that threshold.

Seems like every day there is a new revelation about this guy. I don't think even Hollywood could write something like this for a movie for fear people would think it isn't plausible. But here we are where lies become truth and truth becomes lies. Just make it stop already and please resign Santos. What a loser this guy is!

1. He's kind of like an inept version of the 'Catch Me If You Can' guy

A REALLY inept one.

3. LOL good one

You're so right. A really inept version. It's mind boggling.

5. Updated version, they catch the main character at the start of the movie.

7. Short movie, eh?

2. I hope he goes to jail for something.

Sounds like he engaged in some kind of fraud.

4. Kind of off-topic. If he didn't win, none of these would become a problem.

And he would have gotten away with it. Maybe these "republicans" are running to cheat people's donation for personal gain. Wasn't Newt the person that said running for office is a good money making opportunity? The sad thing for them is that they won and what they did become public interest.

6. Tax cheaters get caught very often. Santos will be caught.

It is possible that that is the reason that Trump will go to prison.
