Rep. George Santos’ campaign hired another treasurer after the New York Republican appointed himself to the post on Friday.
Santos, who is under indictment for campaign finance violations, said in a tweet that he named himself treasurer to comply with campaign finance rules that require a replacement within 10 days of a treasurer’s resignation. Santos received notice of resignation from the campaign’s former treasurer Andrew Olson on Friday, he said.
Santos’ new campaign treasurer is Jason Boles of RTA Strategies, according to a federal filing. Boles has worked for the political consulting firm since 2011, according to LinkedIn.
