Santos’ campaign said it had replaced its treasurer — only for the announced replacement, Thomas Datwyler, to deny he had ever agreed to take the job.
The Federal Election Commission has warned that Long Island Rep. George Santos may be in more legal jeopardy over a sketchy job announcement earlier this week.
“The Commission may report apparent violations to the appropriate law enforcement authorities,” adds the letter, which sets a March 2 deadline to confirm that its filing indicating that Datwyler is the new treasurer of Devolder-Santos for Congress and five other political fundraising committees linked to Santos is accurate.
“On Monday we informed the Santos campaign that Mr. Datwyler would not be serving as treasurer,” the lawyer, Derek Ross,. “It appears there’s a disconnect between that conversation and the filings [Wednesday] which we did not authorize.”
