Former Rep. George Santos’ campaign owes $630,000 to Santos himself — money he supposedly loaned the campaign in 2022, according to new campaign filings Wednesday.
But federal prosecutors and the House Ethics Committee allege most of those loans were either nonexistent or donations from outside groups illegally skirting contribution limits.
Santos has denied wrongdoing, and as of this week, his campaign is still listing the contested loans as part of $776,080 in outstanding debt. Representatives for Santos’ campaign committee did not respond to a request for comment and his lawyer declined to comment.
