NEW: George Santos claimed to have been a victim of an 'assassination attempt’ and had his shoes stolen off his feet in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

Santos belongs in the Guinness World Records for being the most shameless and endless liar in modern politics.

George Santos promised reporters a surprise on Tuesday. When he brought coffee and donuts for the journalists staking out his office, it was a letdown. But Santos apparently had another surprise.

Late Tuesday afternoon, Santos’ political operation filed a flurry of amended campaign finance reports, telling the feds, among other things, that a $500,000 loan he gave to his campaign didn’t, in fact, come from his personal funds as he’d previously claimed.

However, while the newly amended filing told us where the funds did not come from, it also raised a new question—where did the money come from?

While both the old and new campaign filings claim that the loans came “from the candidate,” the campaign’s most recent amended filing had ticked the box for “personal funds of the candidate”; on the newly amended filing today, that box is unchecked.

Another amended filing on Tuesday disclosed that a $125,000 “loan from the candidate” in late October also did not come from his “personal funds,” but like the $500,000 question, did not say where the money came from, when the loan was due, or what entity, if any, backed the money.

- Rep George Santos (R-NY) was asked why he’s not attending tonight’s White House event for new Members of Congress.

Santos responded: “I just didn't have the time. It was on my schedule.”

He thought he could write down that the campaign owed him money and then donors money to his campaign could go straight to his pocket. He's not smart enough to know that anyone would check, and I'm not sure he thought he was actually going to win and bring so much attention on himself.

But the $750K, that was just another grift.

George Santos arrives at his office with Dunkin Donuts for the press then says, “You can look forward to seeing some cool stuff coming out of this office soon.”

“Sir -- let's make it very clear: I don't amend anything, I don't touch any of my FEC stuff, right?”

“So don't be disingenuous and report that I did because you know that every campaign hires fiduciaries,” he told me. “So, I'm not aware of that answer and we'll have an answer for the press regarding the amendments in yesterday's” filing.

He refused to explain source of money

Santos also refused to explain his comment that he survived an assasination attempt and a mugging and wouldn’t say whether he filed a police report.

Asked if he had heard from authorities in Brazil: “I have not, I have not heard from a single authority or a single investigation”
