WASHINGTON — The Federal Election Commission is warning Representative George Santos to substantiate who is in charge of his campaign’s finances — or risk a ban on raising or spending any money.
The FEC sent a letter to Santos asking him to file paperwork to list the treasurer of his campaign, after his previous one resigned in January. The letter adds to confusion over who’s in charge of the embattled New York Republican’s campaign accounts.
“Failure to appoint a treasurer will result in the inability of the committee to accept contributions and make disbursements,” according to the letter dated Tuesday.
