The House Ethics Committee has released its report after investigating truth-challenged out Rep. George Santos (R-NY), and it’s as bad as everyone expected and worse. “At nearly every opportunity, he placed his desire for private gain above his duty to uphold the Constitution, federal law, and ethical principles,” the bipartisan ethics report reads. “Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit.” https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1725185754517717371 From the New York Times:
House investigators found evidence that Mr. Santos used campaign funds for personal purposes, defrauded donors and filed false or incomplete campaign finance and financial disclosure reports, according to a 56-page report released on Thursday.
The committee voted unanimously to refer its findings to the Department of Justice, saying that Mr. Santos’s conduct “warrants public condemnation, is beneath the dignity of the office, and has brought severe discredit upon the House.”
Among the wrongful spending listed in the report were expenditures for Botox, subscriptions to the adult entertainment platform OnlyFans, designer goods, and vacations with Santos’s husband. https://twitter.com/SawyerHackett/status/1725172309529420214 The report also addresses Santos’ now-infamous made-up backstory which he concocted during his 2022 campaign which included lying about colleges he didn’t attend, being a “star” volleyball player, being the grandson of Holocaust survivors, phony work experience at Citi Group and Goldman Sachs and a mother who died from the September 11 terrorist attacks. The report states dryly: “No part of that backstory has been found to be true.” House members have already announced plans to call for his expulsion, and that’s in just the past hour. https://twitter.com/bensiegel/status/1725191196702642320 Following the release of the report, Santos issued a statement via X (formerly Twitter) full of righteous indignation and a barely-included-at-the-end announcement that he will not be seeking re-election next fall. https://twitter.com/MrSantosNY/status/1725182414769512783
Using campaign donations on Botox and OnlyFans is pathetic. RESIGN !
