LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: House Ethics Committee report on Republican representative George Santos revealed that he used campaign funds for personal expenses, including Botox treatments, extravagant trips to Atlantic City, and subscriptions on OnlyFans.
On his 'Late Night' show on Thursday, November 16, Seth Meyers humorously commented on the situation, likening Santos' expenditure to "the shopping list of a 98-year-old oil tycoon’s 20-year-old wife."
House Ethics report on George Santos
In a 56-page ethics report, released following an investigation that spanned nearly nine months, House investigators reportedly depicted a scenario of a current legislator who allegedly exploited his campaign for personal benefits.
The report accuses Santos of utilizing campaign funds for personal indulgences such as Botox treatments, luxury goods, and extravagant trips with his spouse.
Furthermore, the report outlines his alleged attempts to conceal his financial transactions, suggesting a calculated effort to fabricate a deceptive and 'fictional' financial narrative within official records.
"Representative Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit," the report read.
"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."
Following the release of the report, Santos made a public announcement stating that he would not be running for re-election, as per Time.
Seth Meyers trolls George Santos
Seth Meyers, while discussing the news about Santos’ shocking report, humorously remarked that it was the first time he had heard a trip to Atlantic City being described as "lavish."
"Drunk, terrifying, or grounds for divorce, but never lavish," the host added. "Still, it's quite a list. Botox, Atlantic City, OnlyFans, and designer goods. Is he a congressman or a lesser Kardashian?" he joked.
He didn't stop there. Meyers continued with a joke, saying, "He's got the shopping list of a 98-year-old oil tycoon's 20-year-old wife."
The host added that his expulsion is now being demanded even by his fellow Republicans, including those few who had previously supported him before the release of this report.
"He alienated his only fans by spending money on OnlyFans," Meyers quipped.
Meyers even mocked news reporters calling Santos' report "shocking." He stated, "Is it?"
"It's damning and brazen. Is it shocking? He pretended he was a star volleyball player at Baruch College and wore a stolen scarf to a Stop the Steal rally."
