FBI agents are investigating Rep. George Santos’ role in an alleged GoFundMe scheme involving a disabled U.S. Navy veteran’s dying service dog.

Two agents contacted former service member Richard Osthoff Wednesday on behalf of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York, he told POLITICO.

Osthoff gave the agents 2016 text messages with Santos, who he says used his plight to raise $3,000 for life-saving surgery for the pit bull mix, Sapphire – then ghosted with the funds, as first reported by Patch.

[Under normal circumstances, people might question an FBI probe into a sitting member of Congress. Democrats (and then-Speaker Denny Hastert, a Republican) got a little touchy, for instance, when the FBI demanded records regarding William “Cold Cash” Jefferson and corruption allegations. In this case, though, Santos has so little appeal to anyone on either side of the aisle that this may come as a relief to Kevin McCarthy — even if it leaves him a vote short for this session of Congress. — Ed]
