(USA Today) End Citizens United, a political action committee that focuses on money in politics, also filed three complaints with the FEC over Santos’ campaign finances. The latest alleges: Sam Miele, who worked as a fundraiser for Santos’ campaign in 2020 and 2022, sent emails and made calls soliciting money and identifying himself as House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy’s chief of staff Dan Meyer. Miele impersonated Meyer over the course of two campaign cycles and McCarthy’s office was aware of the campaign’s actions as early as August 2021. Miele misrepresenting himself when soliciting campaign funds and giving the impression that McCarthy endorsed donations violates federal law.
