Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY) will not seek reelection after a damning report from the House Ethics Committee was released on Thursday detailing how he misused campaign dollars and used them for personal gain.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Santos ripped the report released by the Ethics Committee but also announced he would not be seeking reelection.
BURCHETT DOUBLES DOWN ON MCCARTHY ASSAULT CLAIM: 'SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL'
“I will remain steadfast in fighting for my rights and for defending my name in the face of adversity,” Santos wrote. “I am humbled yet again and reminded that I am human and I have flaws, but I will not stand by as I am stoned by those who have flaws themselves. I will continue on my mission to serve my constituents up until I am allowed. I will however NOT be seeking re-election for a second term in 2024 as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time.”
If there was a single ounce of ETHICS in the “Ethics committee”, they would have not released this 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).

It is a disgusting…
However, Santos could be out of the House well before election time as House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest (R-MI) plans to file an expulsion resolution for Santos on Friday, and several members who voted to table the first resolution have announced they plan to back Guest’s.

“Chairman Guest feels that the evidence uncovered in the Committee’s investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and that the most appropriate punishment is expulsion," a spokesperson for Guest said in a statement. "So, separate from the Committee process and his role as Chairman, he plans to file an expulsion resolution during tomorrow’s 9:00 am pro forma session."
