Rep. George Santos' sister, Tiffany, once bilked the landlord of her Queens apartment out of $40,000 in rent, according to court documents.
A lawyer for the landlord told Insider Thursday that she has not started making payments.
Two lawyers for legal services who represented Devolder Santos in the case didn't immediately return emails seeking comment.
On Thursday afternoon, Santos told Insider by text message that he never lived at the Elmhurst apartment.
"As for my sisters Perosnal (sic) dealings I'm unaware of them and find it interesting that the struggles of a private citizen newsworthy," Santos told Insider by text.
