Report: House Ethics Committee Questions Santos Visit To AC

One of the questions raised by the House Ethics Committee concerning U.S. Rep. George Santos is why he used campaign funds to pay for $2,000 in trips to several city casinos last year. The Press of Altantic City reports a panel tasked by the committee with investigating Santos said it identified $2,281 spent in the city between July 23 and 24, 2022, that could have been used for personal expenses. A former unnamed staffer told the panel they did not recall “any sort of fundraising or campaign things in Atlantic City” but said he favored the city’s casinos to play roulette, often with his husband, according to the 56-page report.
