“George Santos, the freshman Republican congressman from NY who lied about his biography, has deeper ties than previously known to a businessman who cultivated close links with a onetime #Trump confidant & who is the cousin of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, according to video footage & court documents.

“Andrew Intrater & his wife each gave the maximum $5,800 to Santos’ main campaign committee & tens of thousands more since 2020 to committees linked to him, according to filings w/the #FEC.

“Intrater’s cousin is Russian billionaire #ViktorVekselberg, who has been sanctioned by the U.S. govt for his role in the Russian energy industry.

“The relationship between Santos & Intrater goes beyond campaign contributions, according to a statement made privately by Santos in 2020 & a court filing the following year in a lawsuit brought by the #SEC against a Florida-based investment firm, Harbor City Capital, where Santos worked for more than a year.”
