The House of Representatives is set to vote on expelling controversial Rep. George Santos (R-New York) for the third time in recent months after the Thanksgiving break.
This time, it appears supporters of expelling Santos will come close to getting the two-thirds vote needed to remove him from office.
Last week, the House ethics committee released a report detailing abuses and potential crimes, noting that his “lies go far beyond inaccuracies on a resume.”
Although his credit score is “abysmal” and he was “frequently in debt,” the committee reported that Santos has lived lavishly, relying on his campaign donors to fund his lifestyle.
A report by the investigative subcommittee found that he “occasionally deposited large amounts of cash that he has never accounted for, moved money between his various bank accounts in a highly suspicious manner, and made over $240,000 cash withdrawals for unknown purposes.”
They noted a “pattern of campaign committee expenditures for travel and other personal services,” which they quickly found were often trips to casinos and botox treatments.
His spending habits included paying over $2,000 on the Atlantic City trips, $3,000 on a weekend trip to the Hamptons and $1,500 on Botox.
The House ethics investigators found out that he had utilized his campaign funds for personal purposes to “pay down personal credit card bills and other debt; make a $4,127.80 purchase at Hermes; and for smaller purchases at Only Fans; Sephora; and for meals and for parking.”
Other expenses included his honeymoon in Las Vagas, spa days, Ferragamo stores, rent and the creation of personal bank accounts.
In a final summary report, the ethics committee wrote, “He blatantly stole from his campaign. He deceived donors into providing what they thought were contributions to his campaign but were, in fact, payments for his personal benefit.”
Santos responded to the accusations on X, calling it a “biased report.”
“The Committee went to extraordinary lengths to smear myself and my legal team about me not being forthcoming (My legal bills suggest otherwise),” he wrote. “We the People desperately need an Article V Constitutional Convention.”
He then announced that he would not be seeking re-election. “My family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time,” he wrote, explaining his decision.
