A blistering report from the House Ethics Committee has found “substantial evidence” Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) broke a laundry list of laws.
The bipartisan House panel released the findings of its monthslong investigation Thursday morning. It comes as Santos faces nearly two dozen felony charges. Recently, the freshman Republican’s campaign fundraiser pleaded guilty following charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in federal court.
As ABC News reports:
Santos has pleaded not guilty and defended himself, insisting he will remain in office.
The 56-page report, written by an investigative subcommittee, breaks down the 23 felony charges against Santos, including conspiracy, wire fraud, false statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft and credit card fraud.
But the panel does not make a formal recommendation to the House on a range of sanctions that could be coming for the freshman lawmaker, including expulsion — a move his New York GOP colleagues aim to renew following the Thanksgiving break.
