George Santos told reporter he was worth up to $22 million despite claiming $55,000 a year

Raw Story  

Representative-elect George Santos allegedly told a reporter that he was worth up to $22 million despite claiming an income of around $55,000 in 2020. Real America's Voice host David Zere reported on Thursday that Santos told him he was worth between $14 and $22 million. "I'll never forget, I was at lunch with him a couple years ago, and he told me he was worth between $14 and $22 million and that always stuck with me," he continued. "As a candidate in 2020, in a filing to the U.S. House clerk, George Santos disclosed no assets or income — just that he’d been compensated in excess of $5,000 by LinkBridge Investors," Spectrum News revealed this week.
