Federal law requires members of Congress to file public documents detailing their personal finances every year by May 15th.

And although many (60%!) House members requested an extension to file, a new CREW analysis found that there is only one House member who has not yet filed his mandatory personal financial disclosure: George Santos.

Santos’s failure to file demonstrates a lack of respect for ethics rules that exist to provide the public with information that can be used to identify serious conflicts of interest.

It’s also yet another mystery in the black box of Santos’s personal finances. Yesterday, we told you Santos is at the center of a 23-count indictment alleging that he cheated donors, stole from his campaign and lied to Congress on previous financial disclosures he filed as a candidate (you can read that email below).

This is yet another reason why we need to hold George Santos accountable. Help CREW take action by making a donation today → [[link removed]] [[link removed]]If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [[link removed]]

---- Original message ---- [[link removed]]
Big news John: George Santos has been charged with, well, a whole bunch more crimes. Rep. George Santos is facing 23 counts – including conspiracy, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and credit card fraud – as prosecutors allege he submitted false financial reports to the Federal Election Commission to boost his campaign's fundraising numbers so that he could qualify for benefits from the National Republican Congressional Committee. John, this news comes just days after a former George Santos aide pleaded guilty to federal charges related to a $500,000 campaign loan that Santos had entirely fabricated (but although that loan was fake, the money actually became real… but more on that later).

[[link removed]] It’s never been more clear that Santos has taken illegal action in his campaign for Congress. CREW wants to see him held accountable, and we need your help to do it.

Just days ago, news broke that Santos faked a $500,000 loan to his campaign so that his campaign could qualify for a special National Republican Congressional Committee partnership program that helps promote promising congressional candidates.

But after Santos came under law enforcement scrutiny, the loan mysteriously stopped appearing in new reports. But the campaign *did* begin listing a series of new six-figure loans months later — real money, $615,000, that Santos loaned himself.

This part boils down to one simple question: did Santos lie about any of this money to donors and the government? These new charges certainly make it sound like he did.

This week’s indictment charges Santos with stealing the identities of family members and using donors’ credit cards to spend thousands of dollars.

In one instance, the court documents revealed Santos allegedly charged $15,800 on a contributor's credit card, a sum far higher than federal campaign laws permit!!

It’s far past time for Santos to be removed from Congress and to be held accountable for his crimes.
