George Santos says he'll be back — and other takeaways from his Ziwe interview
On Dec. 1, scandal-plagued New York Republican George Santos became just the sixth member of the House of Representatives to be expelled from Congress, over a growing list of alleged finance crimes and campaign lies.
Santos pleaded not guilty in October to a total of 23 federal felony charges, ranging from wire fraud and money laundering to theft of public funds and making materially false statements to the House. A House Ethics Committee report released earlier this month corroborated many of prosecutors' allegations — and precipitated his ouster.
The following day, Ziwe Fumudoh, a comedian famous for her satirical approach to grilling controversial celebrities, tweeted him an invitation for an interview, which he publicly accepted.
The "jokester and a national joke," as.
