Lying Long Island Rep. George Santos leveraged “every aspect” of his successful 2022 House campaign for personal profit, according to a damning new report from the House Committee on Ethics released Thursday.
An hour after the report came out, the 35-year-old announced he would not seek re-election next year, writing on X that “my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time.”
“I will not stand by as I am stoned by those who have flaws themselves,” Santos wrote. The ethics panel did not make specific recommendations on action against the already-indicted Santos, but it did refer its evidence to the Justice Department.
