Santos Rakes in Cash on Cameo After Expulsion, Despite Looming Campaign Finance Charges
- George Santos charged up to $400 for Cameo videos after being expelled from Congress; made more money in 2 days than his Congressional salary
- Santos faces a 23-count federal indictment for campaign finance crimes, pleaded not guilty
- NY's "Son of Sam" law doesn't apply since charges are federal, not state
- Law requires a firm link between crimes and profits; videos are indirectly tied
- Videos could hurt Santos if convicted, as judge may see he didn't take charges seriously
