before the Federal Election Commission. Authorities in Brazil are also seeking to revive a fraud case against Santos dating to 2008.
According to quarterly reports Donlon has submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, she and her team have interviewed people associated with the firm and issued subpoenas “for documents related to monies paid out by Harbor City.” While declining to enumerate the payments to Santos, Donlon told The Post they exceeded the $200 reporting threshold.
