George Santos appoints himself as his own campaign treasurer

In paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission, Santos named himself as treasurer and custodian of records, listing a Washington post office box as his official address.

Santos follows a line of people overseeing his campaign finances since his November election: Nancy Marks, a longtime New York GOP operative who resigned as his treasurer in January; Thomas Datwyler, who denied ever accepting the job after his name appeared on FEC paperwork; and Andrew Olson, who had never served as a campaign treasurer and whose only identifying information was a Google email address.
