Feds launch new probe of U.S. House candidate Brandon Herrera's campaign finances

The Federal Election Commission is again poking around the campaign finances of unsuccessful U.S. House candidate Brandon Herrera, this time asking the Republican political novice to provide more info on the employment and occupation status of donors. On Tuesday, the FEC sent a letter to Herrera campaign treasurer Thomas Datwyler — a longtime GOP operative with reported ties to expelled New York Congressman George Santos — demanding that he provide accurate occupation and employment information for donors who donated $200 or more to Herrera's Victory Committee. Several donors, some contributing upwards of $1,000, filled out the employment and occupation section incorrectly or left it empty, according to the FEC's correspondence.
