He was also accused of faking donations in the names of relatives, creating a fake nonprofit to solicit donations and running a credit card fraud scheme to steal from elderly and cognitively impaired donors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Santos then <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/santos-hermes-botox-atlantic-city-campaign-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">spent those donations on luxury items<\/a><\/span> from Herm\u00e8s and Ferragamo, Botox, a rent payment and other accommodations in Atlantic City and the Hamptons, according to campaign files, bank records and other documents released by the House Ethics Committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the moment he declared his candidacy for congress, Santos leveraged his campaign for his own enrichment and financial benefit,&#8221; U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York John Durham <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/video\/federal-prosecutors-announce-sentence-for-george-santos-full-news-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said after the sentencing<\/a><\/span>. &#8220;He did this by targeting specific supporters and constituents.
