In the minutes before the House voted to expel Rep. George Santos, Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller dropped a stunning new allegation in a mass email sent to Republican colleagues.
Over 100 Republicans voted with over 200 Democrats to expel Santos from Congress in a Friday vote. But just before that vote took place, Miller sent out an email blast to his colleagues with a shocking allegation — that Santos stole from Miller’s mother.
“Colleagues – Late yesterday on the floor I alluded to a personal impact of Rep. Santos’s conduct,” the email began, referencing the vicious House floor battle between the two on Thursday.
“Earlier this year I learned that the Santos campaign had charged my personal credit card – and the personal card of my Mother – for contribution amounts that exceeded FEC limits,” Miller wrote on Friday. “Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up.”
“I’ve seen a list of roughly 400 other people to whom the Santos campaign allegedly did this,” he said.
Even more surprisingly, he suggested that Santos has also stolen from other House Republicans as well: “I believe some other members of this conference might have had the same experience.”
He went on to advocate for the expulsion that indeed took place minutes later.
