Santos changes story on disclosure report

Shows $500K less in questioned personal loan

BY ROBERT PELAEZ

Republican U.S. Rep. George Santos filed new campaign disclosure reports Tuesday that changed the source of a $500,000 loan previously claimed as “personal funds.”

Financial disclosure reports San- tos filed following the November election showed an outstanding balance of $630,000 on loans from his personal funds. He had originally listed a $705,000 loan to his campaign.

Filings on Tuesday showed that $500,000 in loans were not listed from his personal funds and did not specify where the loan originated.

Money Santos listed as a loan in his campaign filings and its source have been questioned in complaints filed with the Federal Election Commission.
