Controversial Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., reportedly scored big bucks donations from a New York real estate kingpin who is a cousin of a Russian oligarch and was once accused of being a go-between in the Stormy Daniels hush money deal.
Santos, who admits lying about much of his life story, won $5,800 donations from Andrew Intrater and his wife, along with tens of thousands in donations to political action committees that backed his upset victory in a Long Island congressional district, the Washington Post reported Monday.
Intrater, 60, is a cousin and close business associate of Russian oil billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, a crony of strongman Vladimir Putin who has been sanctioned by the U.S. government.
