"I'm announcing the initiative called the G.E.O.R.G.E Package," said former Dist. 3 Congressional candidate Josh Lafazan. "Get Egregious Officials Removed from Government Elections, which stands for George."Meanwhile, new campaign disclosures suggest that at least $625,000 in campaign loans Santos previously reported as self-funded might not be self-funded after all.
The amended filings do not disclose the original source of those loans, the due date or interest rate - which experts say could violate campaign finance laws. Meanwhile, his recent interview with a Brazilian podcast has resurfaced in which Santos, speaking in Portuguese, claims he was the target of an assassination attempt.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was asked Tuesday night why Santos is still seated on two committees, even after McCarthy kicked longtime Democratic congressmen Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off the House Intelligence Committee.
