released on Sunday, LaLota expressed concern that Santos may “drain his campaign account” before multiple investigations into his campaign finances wrap up. He adds that any money left in his account should be returned to “the contributors he duped.”
“To the extent there is actually any real money in the campaign account of Congressman George Santos, the funds should be immediately frozen by the United States Department of Justice or Federal Election Commission,” writes LaLota. “If those federal agencies need more authority to do so, I’ll take the lead. Congressman Santos fraudulently solicited these funds and Santos shouldn’t be allowed to drain his campaign account while multiple authorities investigate the very fraud that induced these contributions,” he adds.
“After Congressman Santos receives the proper Due Process – such as a House Ethics investigation or criminal proceedings or both – the funds should be returned to the contributors he duped. The DOJ or FEC must act now to ensure there is something to actually return to the victims of Santos’ financial scam,” LaLota continues.
The Department of Justice and/or Federal Election Commission must act quickly to freeze any funds in the campaign account of Congressman George Santos.
