STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN AND RANKING MEMBER


OF THE COMMITTEE ON ETHICS REGARDING
REPRESENTATIVE GEORGE SANTOS

Pursuant to House Rule XI Clause 3(q)(1), today the Chairman of the Committee on Ethics,
Representative Michael Guest, and the Ranking Member, Representative Susan Wild, submitted a
report to the House of Representatives in the Matter of Allegations Relating to Representative
George Santos. The full Committee report includes the report of the Investigative Subcommittee
(ISC) in this matter.

At the completion of its investigation, the ISC unanimously concluded that there was
substantial evidence that Representative George Santos: knowingly caused his campaign
committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; used
campaign funds for personal purposes; engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with RedStone
Strategies LLC; and engaged in knowing and willful violations of the Ethics in Government Act
as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House. In light of the
ongoing criminal investigation into Representative Santos, and the ISC’s findings of additional
uncharged and unlawful conduct by Representative Santos, the ISC recommended that the
Committee immediately refer these allegations to the Department of Justice.

The Committee has unanimously voted to adopt the ISC’s report, and with it, refer the
substantial evidence of potential violations of federal criminal law to the Department of Justice for
such further action as it deems appropriate. The Committee concurs with the ISC’s determination
that Representative Santos’ conduct warrants public condemnation, is beneath the dignity of the
office, and has brought severe discredit upon the House.

The Committee thanks the Committee staff and the Members of the Investigative
Subcommittee for their hard work, dedication, and service to the Committee and to the House.
Representative David P. Joyce served as Chair of the Investigative Subcommittee. Representative
Susan Wild served as Ranking Democratic Member. Representative John H. Rutherford
and Representative Glenn F. Ivey also served on the Subcommittee.
