(Putnam County News and Recorder) In recent weeks, George Santos has been the focus of various investigations at the local, federal, and international level, and is the subject of multiple legal and ethics complaints. Here at End Citizens United, we filed three complaints against Santos with the Federal Election Commission, Office of Congressional Ethics, and Department of Justice over his suspicious campaign spending records, illegal fundraising practices, and lack of financial disclosure. Congressman Mike Lawler has tried to talk a big game by calling for Santos’ resignation, but he took $2,900 from George Santos. Despite his big talk, Lawler has not done anything about the thousands of dollars of corrupt Santos money sitting in his campaign coffers, and has been radio silent on whether he will donate the money to charity. By holding on to his money, Lawler is implicitly endorsing Santos’ dishonesty and corruption. We urge him to immediately donate his tainted Santos money to charity.
