Federal and state investigators are probing Republican Rep. George Santos’ role in the sale of a $19 million yacht involving two of his wealthy donors, according to a law enforcement official
. The law enforcement interest in the sale, first reported by The New York Times, underscores the far reaches of the investigations into the embattled congressman’s finances. Santos previously told Semafor he collected referral fees by brokering these sorts of deals. How Santos – who has lied repeatedly about his resume and background – obtained the money to help underwrite his House campaign has been one of the central questions swirling around the Long Island congressman.
“I have every reason to believe that Mr. Tantillo will not be charged with anything regarding the boat, campaign contributions or anything else under the sun because he did absolutely nothing wrong.” He declined to offer further details. CNN also has reached out to Ruiz and her husband, John H. Ruiz, who was not among Santos’ political donors. The Times described John Ruiz as a previous owner of the vessel.
