WASHINGTON — Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican under indictment for campaign finance violations, appointed himself as his own campaign treasurer Friday.
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.
