Hi, I'm Matt Harris.

Set and Tucker and I host the podcast Impact of Influence, which for two years covered in depth,

Eleg Murdoch, who was eventually convicted in 2023 of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul.

That story continues to evolve and we will

cover that. Plus we will tell you stories of other true crime events that have

happened in the South. Please join us on Impact of Influence.

And give us a follow on the Impact of Influence Facebook page.

So Jake, when we started reporting this series, I set out to speak with one of Santos' donors,

because I thought it would be interesting to talk to someone who chose to support Santos.

Yeah, and I totally didn't think you're going to get anyone to talk to you on the record.

Me too, but also, I mean, Santos' donors play a significant role in the indictments against him, so I was

hopeful I would get someone on the record.

And now, with George Santos pleading guilty in federal court,

we won't have a trial.

And so there's many people we won't hear from.

But today, you're going to hear from someone

who was subpoenaed, someone who was expecting to have to testify about George Santos, and who once upon a time was his ally?

I met George at an event in Matituck

out east on Long Island.

Probably in 2021, it was hot so it must have been the summer.

This is Kathy Sorrif.
