MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gabrielle Lipsky, the communications director for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), has resigned from the congressman’s office, a source familiar with the situation confirmed Friday to The Hill.
Lipsky resigned after the House Ethics Committee published a damning report following its investigation into Santos, which found “substantial evidence” that the New York Republican “violated federal criminal laws.”
Her resignation comes as Santos faces increased political pressure on Capitol Hill, with a third expulsion attempt on the horizon.
So, separate from the Committee process and my role as Chairman, I have filed an expulsion resolution,” Guest wrote in a statement Friday.
The panel questioned the credibility of that prospective staffer, whose employment offer was rescinded because of concerns over pending felony wiretapping charges.
Santos slammed the Ethics Committee in a statement on X following the release of the report, calling its work “biased” and “a disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk.”
