A staffer working for sketchy George Santos’s House campaigns called up wealthy donors and pretended to be now-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s chief of staff in order to raise money, The Post has learned.
Sam Miele, who worked as a fundraiser for the disgraced Santos, called and emailed donors during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles in the guise of top McCarthy aide Dan Meyer, CNBC reported Monday.
According to the outlet, Miele was paid nearly $100,000 by the Santos campaign for his fundraising work, including $50,000 during Santos’ failed 2020 House run and more than $42,000 during the successful 2022 campaign.
