In a civil complaint filed with the agency, the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center accused Santos of illegally using campaign funds for personal expenses and for submitting false information about both the source of his campaign donations and expenses.
Monday's FEC complaint also raised the prospect of international meddling in the election. It alleged: "The concealed true source behind $705,000 in contributions to Santos's campaign could be a corporation or foreign national — both of which are categorically barred from contributing to federal candidates."
The Santos campaign also reported a $199.99 disbursement to the identity verification company CLEAR for "Travel," but CLEAR stated in an email that its non-discounted standard annual membership is $189.28. The Santos campaign reported a $199.99 disbursement to JFK Parking, but there is no combination of fees from that airport parking facility that would end in $99.99.
"George Santos has lied to voters about a lot of things, but while lying about your background might not be illegal, deceiving voters about your campaign's funding and spending is a serious violation of federal law," said Noti.
