A former fundraiser for US Representative George Santos was charged in a federal case with wire fraud and identity theft for allegedly impersonating an aide to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, New York, who are already prosecuting Santos for fraud, alleged that the fundraiser, Samuel Miele, sent out emails seeking campaign contributions claiming to be a “high ranking aide to a member of the House with leadership responsibilities.”
The filing is the latest twist in the federal case against the New York lawmaker. Santos is facing fraud and money-laundering charges following a five-month investigation that began shortly after his election in November. Prosecutors claim he solicited funds from donors for his campaign and used them instead for personal expenses including designer clothing, deploying a shell company that effectively operated as an illegal super-PAC.
